The city is a mosaic of age old civilizations and the smells and sounds of a modern metropolis. It is a highly populated city and offers you all the facilities of the modern life just like any other metropolitan. Although there are many things in common with other metropolitans, Lahore has a uniqueness which no other city can boast. It is a city that gives you a warm welcome.
