Virkið í Lahore er mikilfenglegur staður, beint á móti stærstu mosku í öllu Pakistan, Badshahi-Mosque. Í augsýn frá báðum er minnismerkið um frelsi Pakistans. Byggingu hinnar risastóru mosku var lokið 1676, hún rúmar 60,000 manns!

Lahore is one of the Pakistan's most interesting city, the cultural, intellectual and artistic center of the nation. Its faded elegance, busy streets and bazaars, and wide variety of Islamic and British architecture make it a city full of atmosphere, contrast and surprise. Being the center of cultural and literary activities it may rightly be called the cultural capital of Pakistan. The warm and receptive people of Lahore are known for their traditional hospitality.
