Once known as the "Paris of the East," Lahore is now the hub of a booming cultural experimentation in Pakistan. Haute couture fashion, fusion cooking, and the traditional style of miniature painting depicted in postmodern art are transforming this old Mughal town into the epicenter of Eastern glamour. A trip to the Subcontinent's most exciting city is an experience involving rich history, colorful culture and amazing food. Lahori hospitality is legendary and there is a population of 8.5 million helpful citizens to amuse and educate you on your journey.

For variety, head towards newly renovated Food Street, a long lane lined with dozens of restaurants offering traditional dishes served on plastic tables placed along the sidewalks. For a quick bite, visit one of the hundreds of dhabhas around the city offering mouth-watering bun kebabs and chicken rolls wrapped in day-old newspapers served to you in minutes. International cuisine done Pakistani style can be found at Elephant and Taipan in the Pearl Continental hotel. Don't forget to try traditional sweets, called mithia, at Nirala. Either deep fried and crispy, or baked and soft, these colorful treats are always oozing with sugar.
