Going to visit Pakistan in May. I will be bringing my kids with me, it will be their first visit to Pakistan. KPK travel and information will not be an issue since my family is from there. I plan on visiting Lahore if anyone could recommend some locations to visit. My children are teenagers. My wife wants to shop for some Pakistani dresses as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know that we want to see historical places like the Badshahi Mosque, the Fort, Minar-e-Pakistan, and the Wagah border ceremony. My wife wants to shop for traditional clothing and some good places to eat. I haven't been to Lahore for 20 years. I kind of want to act like I know what I am doing. Someone mentioned Anar Kali for shopping. Thank you so much for replying.

Since you're already going to Badshahi mosque, I will assume that you'll be doing Food Street as well.
Regarding places to eat, I would suggest that you google top restaurants in Lahore. Places like Cafe Aylanto, Arcadian, Cafe Zouk, Salt n' Pepper, Haveli, Cooco's Den, Qabail, etc... because these are the places that pretty much everyone would recommend.
I haven't been deep inside Lahore in a very long time, I've been told there is some really good food to be had, however, I doubt I have the stomach for any of that sort of stuff, and I would recommend you avoid such places as well, because the last thing you want is for your kids to be having an episode of "mild food poisoning", because that's what the doctor will tell you, even though you'll feel like you've just had a near death experience. I'm speaking from personal experience.

The second place is newer and is called Lal Qila on Main Bulevard in or close to Garden Town!
Good Luck!Balaghal-ula bi-kamaalihi / Kashafad-duja bi-jamaalihi / Hasunat jameeu khisaalihi / Sallu alaihi wa aalihi

Just remembered, don't miss out on having breakfast or hi-tea @ Chaaye Khana. Their selection of French toasts is amazing."Some people believe that necessity is the mother of Invention, but they're wrong, its War" - James May
