Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
Hope article below is helpful. One thing.. go with an open mind and don’t start to compare it to where you come from all the time. I am UK borned and raised and very English in my upbringing, but I love Lahore, the hustle and bustle, the vibrant pulse of the city and above all a REAL sense of FREEDOM…no big brother watching you…nobody pushing religion down your throat like in most Western countries where muslims have made their home. No head scarfs wrapped tightly around womens’ heads. Women just get on with life as they choose. Go there and LIVE LAHORE!!
5 Great reasons to Life in Lahore (Expat)
-
Independent Women
Compared to more rural areas or other smaller cities in Pakistan, women in Lahore have a greater deal of independence. You’ll see scores of women drivers and shoppers at all times of the day and even into the evening. It’s not safe to go everywhere as a lone woman, but once you get to know the city better you’ll learn where women congregate. It’s easy to meet other ladies at parks, markets, and department stores. Many women in Lahore work, study, and even run businesses. -
Pakistani Hospitality
Hospitality is something you’ll enjoy all over Pakistan, but it is particularly pronounced in the Punjab. Get ready for endless cups of chai and start expanding your stomach for Pakistani sized portions! Meeting locals is easy, and although the media may portray it differently, most Lahoris are very open to meeting and befriending Westerners. Families are quite willing to take you, and especially if you are a single or a young couple, they’ll consider you as part of their own family. You can count on close Pakistani friends to come to your side in times of trouble. Many times they’ll go above and beyond what you’d expect of even your own blood related relatives!
- Superb Shopping
I must admit that in the states, I am not much of a shopper. I don’t go the mall just to browse, but I go in with an objective, find said objective and get out. On the contrary I really enjoy shopping in Lahore. It’s a cultural and relational experience, and you can get some wicked deals. Be creative by custom designing your clothing, home décor, furniture and jewelry. Browse bustling markets for colorful hand-embroidered saris, bangles, and playful patterns for your latest shalwar kameez (long shirt & loose trousers worn by Pakistani women). In your hometown, how often do you get to choose the material, trim, and embroidery patterns for your clothing and get it made just for you? Shopping can be frustrating at times, but the sense of satisfaction that comes after a bargaining success is worth it.
- Winter Weather
Mid-October to mid-March is a time of lovely weather in Lahore. Flowers bloom and you’ll see carefully manicured green gardens all over the city. People sit on their terraces and enjoy walks in parks. The best thing about the winter season is that you can actually enjoy the sunny days and clear skies. In the summer it’s too hot to appreciate the sun, and instead you’ll find yourself rejoicing at the sound of raindrops. It does get cold enough in winter to use heaters, so you’ll want to bring sweaters and winter coats. Another great thing about winter is when the power gets cut off you can snuggle up in blanket or sleep right through it. Coming from Massachusetts where there can be six feet of snow in one day and there are freezing cold temperatures in winter, I have learned to love the cool season in Lahore.
- Life Goes On
One of the most impressive things about life in Lahore is just that. Life goes on. Despite whatever political drama is filling up the headlines, or whatever financial crisis is coming Pakistan’s way, life goes on. People go to work. Kids go to school. Very rarely does the city really shut down. Even on so-called “strike” days decided by mosque leaders, people usually open up their shops by late afternoon or evening. At first, the idea of living in a city where suicide bombs have gone off can be a bit daunting. After a while you’ll start taking it like the locals. Sure, everyone talks about it when a bomb blast goes off, but the next day people will be congregating in that very spot doing business as usual. I remember when a bomb went off Liberty Market. The next day, I myself was there doing my shopping. That’s how it is. Lahoris refuse to live in fear. If they did, they’d never leave their homes. Whether Pakistan is on the front page news or not, most people don’t even worry about. People in the West generally are more informed about what happens in remote areas of the country than those of us actually living here.
To sum it all up, I’ll quote the famous Pakistani saying,
“Lahore Lahore hai.”
Lahore is Lahore. There is no other city like it, and it is uniquely its own. If you choose to live in Lahore, you’ll certainly come to embrace Lahore for all that it is.

Lahore is the bestest place to live in 
It is popularly known as the Heart of Pakistan, due to its historical importance in the creation of Pakistan, and also being a cultural, political and educational centre of the country and economic centre of the country’s biggest province, Punjab. It is also often called the Garden of the Mughals or the City of Gardens because of the heritage of the Mughal Empire
There are hundreds of Shopping spots where u’ll find each and everything and restaurants in lahore where you are served with high quality food.
Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
I think it would be safe to say that Lahore is one of the liveliest cities of Pakistan. And you will some of the best food there. You must have to go “Food Street” in Lahore to get the taste of best authentic dishes.

Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
well personally for me I would probably want to stay in America if given the choice. Even though Lahore is amazing, it is very dusty and dirty in some parts. The guys over there are also loose characters (some not all). Plus you will be getting married and obviously having kids. In terms of your childrens education I suggest America will be better than Lahore as it has a higher standard, although some schools in Lahore will probably be better (not that I know much about the education system of both). Also, will you be able to bear the heat that comes with the harsh summers? Will you be comfortable to live in Pakistan for a long period more than a mere holiday? These are things to think about. If you are comfortable then move, otherwise think about it. The choice is always up to you. Hope it helps
Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
With a rich history dating back over a millennium, Lahore is a main cultural centre of Punjab and pakistan. One of the most densely populated cities in the world, Lahore remains an economic, political, transportation, entertainment, and educational hub. It is referred to as the “Mughal City of Gardens” due to the historic presence of gardens in and around the city dating back to the Mughal period..
Lahore is referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan as it hosts most of the arts, cuisine, festivals, film-making, music, gardening and intelligentsia of the country. Known for its affiliation with poets and artists, it has the largest number of educational institutions in Pakistan..
It is ranked 25 in the most populated urban areas in the world and the 8th largest city within the organisation of islamic cooperation. Lahore has expanded almost double area-wise in the last 12 to 14 years. In 2010, Lahore has ranked as the 2nd best tourist destination in Pakistan.
These are the few things about lahore..
Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
yes lahore is a nice city, but loadshedding in punjab is on peak now a days…
Re: Is Lahore a nice place to live?
That is certainly an area of concern, because the summers are quite hot and humid. But if you can cope with the load shedding problem then it is well worth visiting.
