Tourist destinations


1 The Clock Tower
Faisalabad’s Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower is located within its city centre. The Clock Tower was founded in 1903 by Sir Charles Riwaz who was the British Lieutenant Governor of Punjab. It is an architectural marvel to behold. However, what’s unique about this site is not the clock tower itself, but the fact that an aerial view of the area forms the Union Jack, which is the British flag.

2 Lyallpur Museum
Faisalabad has a rich history attached to the name Lyallpur and there’s no better place to witness it than visiting the Lyallpur Museum. As a heritage museum, it preserves the history and culture associated with the area within its walls.

3 Gumti Water Fountain
Built in front of the Qaisery Gate, Gumti Fountain is another structure that has withstood the test of time from the early 1800s to date. While it has now become a busy intersection for traffic, it was once a designated spot for town meetings. The fountain is still in working condition today.

4 Qaisery Gate
Qaisery Gate is located at the outer edge of Rail Bazaar. A straight walk through the bazaar can lead you to the Clock Tower and the 7 adjacent markets. It was built in the late 1800s during the British Rule and is well preserved to this date.

5 Jinnah Garden
Named after the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Jinnah Garden is actually the final resting place of Sir Charles James Lyall. It is one of the central parks of the city and is also known to the locals as “Company Bagh.”
