The street life of Pakistani cities is a sight to behold. However, no other city can replicate the life and charm you see in Rawalpindi's Raja Bazar. You will find almost everything being sold in this bazaar – from food items to furniture. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable.
If you are looking to enjoy some street food and grab a couple of souvenirs, Raja Bazar is the place to be. However, we would advise that you grab a taxi or Rickshaw to go there and explore the market on foot.
