Faisalabad, nicknamed "the Manchester of Pakistan" for its textile industry, offers a distinctive city layout and a working economic character different from Pakistan's more heritage-focused cities.

Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar): The city's central landmark, around which eight bazaars radiate in a distinctive colonial-era urban plan.

The textile industry: Faisalabad remains one of Pakistan's most important textile manufacturing centres, an interesting stop for anyone specifically interested in the country's industrial economy.

Lyallpur Museum: Documents the city's colonial-era history and development, useful context for understanding its distinctive planned layout.
