From ancient cities to snow-capped mountains and pristine, deserted beaches, Pakistan is a fascinating country of contrasts, with plenty to offer to visitors seeking a unique, varied and excellent value holiday. Its cities have their own distinct character, from its sleek capital city, Islamabad, with its modern developments and excellent dining, to its cultural capital, the ancient city of Lahore, which is dotted with UNESCO World Heritage Sites and stunning Mughal architecture.
The old capital, Karachi, has grown into a megacity, with 15 million people living in Pakistan's economic centre. Many tourists choose a Kipling-style adventure and follow the traditional trade routes covering Grand Trunk Road, the Khyber Pass and Karakoram Highway. Wherever you choose to visit in Pakistan, you'll find plenty of economy tickets to fly there from all over the world, including the UK.
Flights with the country's national airline, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) regularly take passengers from London Heathrow to Karachi and Lahore, with non-stop flights throughout the week. Along with PIA, you can book your ticket with a number of other carriers for flights from the UK's main airports to different Pakistani cities.
