Johar Town is a large residential and commercial district in south-western Lahore, popular with families and students. It has grown into a self-contained area with its own markets, schools, hospitals and eateries.
Emporium Mall is a major shopping and entertainment destination, and Expo Centre Lahore hosts trade shows and public exhibitions throughout the year, so it is worth checking what is on before you go. Along the main roads and in the block markets you will find a wide range of everyday restaurants, bakeries and casual cafés.
Event days at the Expo Centre can bring heavy traffic to the surrounding roads. Allow extra time if you are travelling during a major exhibition.
