The short answer
The route and timing
Take the M-1 motorway from Islamabad towards Peshawar. Allow extra time near the city for traffic and the old bazaars, and leave early in summer to avoid the heat of the afternoon.

- Qissa Khwani Bazaar, the old storytellers' market.
- Peshawar Museum, known for its Gandhara Buddhist collection.

Hotels in Peshawar
Visitors commonly choose well-known hotels such as Pearl Continental Peshawar and Peshawar Serena Hotel, along with many mid-range hotels in the Saddar and University Town areas.

Best time to go
October to March is pleasant for walking the old city. Summers are hot, so plan sightseeing for the morning and evening.
