Lal Chowk sits at the heart of Srinagar as the city's central commercial area, close to the old city and the Jhelum river. It is where handicraft shops cluster and where the everyday bustle of Kashmiri city life is at its most concentrated.

It can be busy, which is part of its character rather than a drawback, and its central position makes it a practical starting point for the wider city.
