Above, you are looking at the meticulously restored/refreshed Gali Surjan Singh, which is now one of the most “upmarket” streets in the Walled City of Lahore.

This is a street where dining and shopping options are abundant.

For obvious reasons, the same is not true of nearby Patli Gali, pictured below.

Nonetheless, precisely because it is allegedly the narrowest “visitor-friendly” street in Lahore’s entire megacity, Patli Gali is a “must see”  for visitors to Lahore’s walled city.

“Old Delhi” is renowned worldwide; arguably, it is the most “happening” urban place on “our” planet.

My beloved and I are among many millions of Westerners who have experienced Old Delhi, directly. (more than once)

Very few 21st century Westerners have visited the Walled City of Lahore.

Also known as “old Lahore”, or as the “old city”, it is rather less frenetic than Old Delhi.

It is, however, very much richer in architectural/artistic splendour than is Old Delhi.

We begin this series at Lahore’s Delhi Gate. (not coincidentally, Old Delhi has a Lahore Gate)

An old Punjabi saying about Lahore is akin to a declaration made by at least two proud Italian cities: that one should see Naples/Venice, then die.
