Overview

The Walled City is Lahore’s beating heart — thirteen historic gates, tangled lanes, and centuries of layered history you can only really feel on foot. This walk follows the restored Royal Trail from Delhi Gate toward the Fort, threading past the exquisite Shahi Hammam, the tilework masterpiece of Wazir Khan Mosque, and bazaars where coppersmiths, shoemakers and spice sellers still work as they have for generations.

It’s a walking tour, so the pace is human and the encounters are real — this is a living neighborhood, not a museum.
