Faisalabad's very own Big Ben, the Clock Tower, is located in the city center. It was built during the colonial rule of Britain over the sub-continent. British architecture is very apparent when you look at the make of the clock tower. However, the fun comes with the markets surrounding the Clock Tower. It has eight markets worldwide, and all of these markets are hustling with diversity and life. Go through the marketplaces on a free day and grab yourself some local snacks and a few souvenirs to take back home!
Lyallpur was the former name of Faisalabad. Hence, it is apt that the museum of this city still has the old name. There are many artifacts here that will pique your interest if you are a history buff. Faisalabad locals have a soft spot for their history and culture, and this can be seen by the connections between the historical artifacts and the locals. Enjoy a day walking around the museum and getting yourself acquainted with the rich history of Faisalabad.
