Storytelling walk · 3h 30m· Railway Station to Walled City
Railway Station to Wazir Khan
From the platform to the mosque
Start where a hundred years of arrivals began, the fortress-like Lahore Railway Station, and walk through the wholesale bazaars into the Walled City, ending at Wazir Khan.
Lahore Railway Station was built to look like a castle for a reason. After 1857 the British wanted a station they could defend, so they gave it towers, loopholes and gates that could be sealed. It is a strange, wonderful building and almost nobody stops to look at it.
We do. Then we walk the road that generations of new arrivals walked, through Naulakha Bazaar and Landa Bazaar, past the old grain market of Lala Moolchand, and in through Delhi Gate. From there it is the royal trail: Sabeel Wali Gali, the Shahi Hammam, a Mughal well and finally Wazir Khan Mosque.
This is the walk for people who like the messy, living city as much as the monuments. It is longer than the Delhi Gate walk, louder, and full of the kind of detail you cannot plan.

Good to know
- Wear comfortable shoes. The galiyan are uneven and we walk slowly, but we do walk.
- Dress modestly. Mosques and shrines ask for covered shoulders and knees, and women will need a dupatta or scarf for the mosque.
- Children are welcome. Under 6 walk free, and prams do not work well in the old city, so bring a carrier.
- Photography is encouraged, except where our host asks you to put the phone away.
- We go ahead in light rain. In a real downpour we move the walk and your booking moves with it.
