How safe is Lahore?
I think Lahore is one of the safest cities in Pakistan due to it being the most developed city in the country. We also have our first female Chief Minister of the province so the city is slowly and steadily improving in terms of gender equality.
Posted: February 8, 2025Lahore is a beautiful beau city to travel but I would prefer to travel with some company. You can travel alone but it depends on the area you are planning to visit. Most are safe, Some are safer and some are less safer. So take guidelines from the residents before deciding to travel alone or with a friend.
Posted: January 8, 2025Well over all the situation depends on which area of Lahore you are staying because different kind of people exist in different kind of areas and based on political and financial instability in Pakistan things do get unpredictable. I will advise all the women coming to Lahore to come through some mutual connects and friends because within a community you are safe and get welcomed in a more secure and guarded.
