Shakarparian National Park

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. I didn't, and I regretted it while exploring all the trails. There’s a lot more walking than I expected!

My advice is to bring your own snacks or a picnic. The food options inside were quite limited and overpriced, so save some cash!

Don't forget to charge your phone. I ran out of battery taking photos because the views are super photogenic, so bring a power bank too.

I think it’s a great idea to check the weather beforehand. I got caught in a sprinkle and didn’t have an umbrella, so a little prep can go a long way!
Saif-ul-Maluk Lake

My advice is to bring your camera; the views are stunning and you’ll want to capture the moment, especially near the famous wooden boats!

If you're on a budget, skip the pricey horse rides and just hike the trail. The walk is beautiful and you’ll get to enjoy the scenery up close.
Lahore Zoo

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The zoo is pretty spread out, and you'll do a lot of walking. Trust me, I regretted not wearing my best walking shoes.
Ayub National Park

Wear comfortable shoes! I didn't realize how much walking there would be, and I regretted wearing fancy shoes. Your feet will thank you.

Get there by 8 AM to avoid the crowds and really enjoy the peaceful nature. Trust me, the morning air and quiet paths make a big difference!
Race Course

I think you should check out the jogging track if you can. It’s a nice way to see the park and get in some exercise without spending extra time.

I suggest visiting early in the morning around 7 AM. The weather is so much nicer, plus you can avoid crowds and grab some cool photos before it gets busy.

I recommend exploring the small gardens and quiet corners! They are often overlooked by tourists and you might just find a lovely spot to chill out and enjoy the scenery.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and water. There are food stalls, but they can be a bit pricey and sometimes not the best quality.
Fatima Jinnah Park

Try to avoid weekends if you can. It's pretty crowded then, making it harder to enjoy the space. Midweek visits are way more relaxing!

I think you should wear comfortable shoes since the park is huge and you'll want to explore all the trails without any pain.

Check out the local vendors outside the park for some authentic street food. Much cheaper and tastes way better than what's inside!

My advice is to bring a water bottle and some snacks. The park is lovely, but food options can be pricey and limited.
Shalimar Bagh

I suggest visiting on a weekday, especially in the morning. It's much less crowded, and you can really soak in the peaceful vibe of the gardens without the hustle and bustle of a weekend crowd.

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. You’ll do quite a bit of walking, and the pathways are beautiful but can be uneven in places, so be prepared to stroll around comfortably.
Check the weather before you go. I went on a sunny day and it was gorgeous, but a cooler time of year or cloudy day would be more pleasant if you're planning to stay for a while

Visit the historical sections outside of peak hours like around 4 PM. The light is beautiful then for photos and it’s less busy when you want to appreciate the art and architecture.
Bagh-e-Jinnah
Mahodand Lake

If you plan on hiking, wear sturdy shoes... I wore sandals thinking it would be fine, but my feet weren’t happy on the rocky paths!

My advice is to take cash with you for boat rides and local snacks. Some places don't accept card payments and you don’t want to miss out on those tasty treats.
Lake View Park

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The vendor prices can be a bit high, and having your own stuff lets you relax without worrying about costs.
