About Anarkali Bazaar
Anarkali Bazaar, named for a legendary courtesan, is one of the oldest surviving markets in South Asia — a sprawling maze of narrow lanes packed with clothing, fabric, jewellery, books, food and household goods. Old and New Anarkali together form a shopper’s and food-lover’s labyrinth.
It’s a sensory immersion in everyday Lahori commerce, and a superb place to eat, browse and bargain with a guide.
Highlights
- Historic market — Among the subcontinent’s oldest bazaars.
- Everything for sale — Textiles, jewellery, books, crafts and food.
