Start early to beat the heat
Begin at Delhi Gate or the Fort in the morning to avoid midday crowds and high temperatures; many sites are busiest after noon.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect cobbles, narrow lanes, and occasional dirt paths—closed-toe walking shoes make the day more comfortable.
Carry small-denomination cash
Street food, market stalls, and small entrances may only accept cash; bring PKR notes in small bills.
Respect religious sites
Cover shoulders and knees when entering mosques, and ask permission before photographing people inside religious or private spaces.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide traction and comfort on cobbles, steps, and uneven alleys.
Refillable water bottle
Stay hydrated through long outdoor stretches; bottled water is often provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste.
