TOP CITIES TO VISIT IN PAKISTAN

When Pakistan is discussed, only the picture of mountains come in our mind. No doubt, Pakistan has wide natural beauty, but Pakistan has no answer when it comes to history and tall buildings. If you had a tour to Pakistan and you visited only mountains, desserts and valleys and you haven’t visited cities of Pakistan you missed a golden chance. So do not miss your chance and must have a look to cities of this beautiful country.

The cities of this country are always memorable and cannot be replaced. You guys spend few days in Lahore and then take the bus to Peshawar. You will be surprised when you visit cities here and you will never regret for this.

Islamabad is always good city if you are new to Pakistan. It is the capital of Pakistan very green and very clean. Wide clean roads with green belts, give a very charming look. The Margalla hills are so beautiful. People jog along with the road in the mornings. Faisal Mosque is gorgeous and is designed very beautifully. The weather becomes very clear when there is a rainy day. So must visit Islamabad if you like greenery and want to see massive buildings.

Lahore is a well-developed city. It is historical city due to having Sheesh Mahal, Badshahi Mosque, and the Minar-e-Pakistan (the site where Lahore Resolution was passed in 1940).at night, you can walk in Gawalmandi. Sit somewhere and order nihari and enjoy it. And androon Lahore has its own fantasy, and the breakfast there you will never forget. You can easily spend a whole week in Lahore when you are visiting.

Karachi is one of the big cities in the world. It’s name itself is an introduction. Clifton Beach in the evening is looks very attractive. The street-food of Pakistan is famous in whole Pakistan: bun kebab from a cart, biryani has number of varities in a city. This city attracts people from the whole province.

Peshawar is an old city (the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Actually it is a historical city and was known as centre of bhuddisam before becoming part of Mughal and Bitish empires. Qissa Khwani Bazaar is site of many travelling merchants. This bazar is a famous street of story tellers, also known for tea houses, spices and traditional crafts. The food here is simple and good. Chapli kebab especially are very good here compulsory to try from here because chapli kebab is the dish of Peshawar.

Quetta is a quiet and cool city. The mountains around it are very natural, the air is dry, and the whole place moves at a slower speed than the rest of the country. Hanna Lake is nice if you want to explore Quetta afternoon. The bazaars have dry fruits, hand-knotted carpets, and crafts that come specifically from Balochistan. These handcrafts are not even beautiful these require a lot of hardwork.

Multan is genuinely unlike anywhere else in Pakistan. It's very hot for much of the year, very old, and shaped almost entirely by its Sufi heritage. It is known as city of saints. Not just for tourism, people also come here due to religious reasons. It has its own cultural and historical value. The blue pottery we see everywhere is made of Multan. If you have an intrest in history and cultural values, Multan can be the very attractive city for you.

Faisalabad rarely comes up in travel conversations, which is part of why it's worth mentioning. It is a textile and industrial city, not a heritage destination. The Clock Tower in the center of this city, with bazaars fanning out around it. It  is the main landmark and is genuinely interesting to walk through if you like markets. This city has its own value. No one is performing for tourists here. That is refreshing.

Pakistan's cities hit different. Each one has its own vibe, its own pace, its own personality and they do not really wait for you to catch up. They are just living.

But that is the thing. If you show up with a little patience and a lot of curiosity, you'll start noticing things you never expected. The street you walked past twice suddenly has a whole story. The noise that felt overwhelming starts making sense. You stop being a visitor and start actually seeing the place.
