Pakistani truck art — the vivid, ornate folk painting that decorates the country’s trucks and buses — is one of Lahore’s most distinctive souvenirs. You can buy truck-art home decor, miniature trucks, painted plates, keychains, furniture and even commission custom pieces from workshops and craft shops around the city.
What to buy
Small, packable items (keychains, magnets, small plates, mini trucks) travel well; larger decor, painted furniture and framed panels make striking statement pieces. Some workshops personalise items with your name in truck-art lettering.
Where to find it
Artisan and souvenir shops, craft markets, and dedicated truck-art workshops. We can take you to a genuine workshop to watch artists at work and buy directly on a bazaar tour or like-a-local tour.
