Model Town

Safe and peaceful residential area with budget accommodation. You'll experience everyday Pakistani family life. Quiet with no tourist amenities, so expect to spend on taxis to reach restaurants and sights.

Tree-lined avenues, parks, and organized blocks labeled A through J. This is where upper-middle-class families live - government workers, professors, successful businesspeople. You'll see families walking in parks in the evening, kids playing cricket in the streets, corner shops selling everyday items. Politicians and celebrities live here because it's well-maintained and secure. Each block has its own market, mosque, and playground. English is less common than in Gulberg or DHA since this is residential, not touristy. People are friendly though. Dining options are basic local restaurants and a few cafes - no nightlife or upscale places. It's like staying in a suburban neighborhood where you see everyday Pakistani family life. Safe for walking during the day and early evening, but not much to do. You'll need to go to Gulberg or the Old City for restaurants and sightseeing.
