Multan gets called the city of saints, and the old quarters make that feel earned — domed shrines turning up between houses, down lanes that weren't built with tourists in mind. The older buildings around them have survived better than you'd expect.
The bazaars mix blue pottery workshops in between fabric stalls — Multani craft that's been here longer than most of the buildings around it. Mango season hits differently here. The market fills up with local varieties that don't travel far outside the region.
Multan won't rush you like Lahore or Karachi. Slower streets, more layers to peel back.

With inDrive City to City, the fare is agreed before the trip starts. A fuel stop in Sukkur, heavy truck traffic past Hyderabad — none of that changes what you locked in upfront.
Down in the Fort Kohna area, this old landmark sees a steady flow of people each day. Most who come park close to the gate, then head on foot through the grounds toward the tomb buildings.
Beyond the narrow lanes of the old city, vehicles slow down when mornings and evenings crowd in. Instead of private drives, most visitors leave cars in open spaces near broader streets. Reaching the fortress means finishing the trip by walking through tighter passages.
Few steps into the heart of the older district, roads pulse with constant motion, crowded sidewalks shaping slow progress. Those arriving usually leave cars along nearby blocks or tucked inside compact lots meant for shops, after that making their way on foot down tight alleyways lined with stalls.
