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.
