Sample essay on My Favorite City Lahore

Lahore is considered to be the “heart of Pakistan”. I used to hear about its beauty and charm a lot before I finally made my mind to go and see it. I somehow managed to go there alone to be able to experience each and everything on my own. I realized after my visit that why people are in so much love with this city.

People & Culture

Lahore has a very rich cultural heritage which has kept it as the traditional capital of Punjab for so many centuries. Also, the people live there are so full of life and cheerful. I found most of them very straight-forward and funny.

I also knew about a lot of misperceptions people have about “Lahoris”. But after I paid a visit to Lahore and met a lot of people there, I came to know that it was actually the opposite. The people in Lahore don’t poke their noses into each others’ businesses and everyone has the right to live the way they want to.

Education and Training

Moreover, Lahore is considered to be a core of education and training. People from other cities come here to get higher studies from its prestigious colleges and universities. You would see the huge diversity in its population of 10 million. I also got to see and meet people from every religion, race, and walk of life.

Anarkali Bazaar

There are many places in Lahore which are worth visiting. I went to Anarkali bazaar which is the busiest part of Lahore. Although its streets were narrow and crowded, it is still one of the best experiences I had in my life. I bought a lot of dresses, shoes, and bags from there which are rarely found anywhere else.

Food Street

Food street of Lahore is another charming place to which I paid a visit. There is such a huge diversity in traditional and fast food dishes that I bet everyone can find his favorite food here. I tried a lot of dishes which were so mouth-watering that I still remember them.

Minar-e-Pakistan

Minar-e-Pakistan is situated in old Lahore which is a symbol of independence of Muslim. You can see the view of entire Lahore from the top of Minar-e-Pakistan. I also went to the top and the view was really breathtaking. I made a lot of photos as well to be able to recall my beautiful memories.

Masjid Wazir Khan

It is a 17th-century mosque which is located in the city of Lahore. It is a historical place which was commissioned during the ruling period of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The architecture is so beautiful that it is really difficult to take eyes off it. I spend a lot of hours there praying and observing people around me.

There are other special places in Lahore as well like Lahore fort, Sunehri Masjid, Iqbal Park, Shalamar Garden, and so many more. People from all over the world come to visit these beautiful places of Lahore. I would also suggest you go and witness the beauty of Lahore yourself.
