Getting to the airport is straightforward. Hop onto a My Citi Bus, operating directly from the Civic Centre, or opt for the authorised taxi service, Touch-Down Taxis. If you are driving, the two Parkade areas consist of nearly 5,800 short and long-term parking spaces, including covered ones. Lock-up garages can also be pre-booked for added security, giving you peace of mind before you take off.

Sialkot, based in Pakistan's industrious Punjab province, is known as a major export-oriented city. It's globally renowned as a manufacturing powerhouse for world-class surgical instruments, leather goods and, most notably, over 70 per cent of the world's footballs. You'll feel the energetic, entrepreneurial spirit as you explore this commercial hub.
The city is also deeply rooted in history. Discover its rich heritage by visiting the ruins of Sialkot Fort, one of Pakistan's oldest fortresses, built in the 2nd century AD. As you roam around the city centre, marvel at the historic 19th-century Clock Tower, a prominent landmark in Iqbal Square. Sialkot's cultural heart is Iqbal Manzil, the preserved birthplace and former home of the great national poet and philosopher, Allama Iqbal. This location is now a fascinating museum and library dedicated to his legacy, where you can admire his renowned works.
