Walk the lush lawns of Frere Hall. The Venetian Gothic building stands stark and beautiful against the morning sky. It is the perfect time to admire the yellowish Karachi limestone and red sandstone before the midday sun fades its colors.
09:45
Head to Dynasty for lunch. This award-winning Chinese restaurant is just a short walk away. Order from their extensive menu of 139 dishes in a setting decorated in traditional Chinese style. It is a favorite among expats and offers quality authentic cuisine.
10:45
Stroll through Bagh-e-Jinnah. This large park is located just west-northwest of Frere Hall. Walk the paths between Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road and Aiwan-e-Sadar Road. The polo ground and the Victorian style fountains offer a peaceful end to your morning.
Local tip
Frere Hall is opposite the Marriott Hotel. Use this landmark to orient yourself if you are new to the area. The park is open during daylight hours, so plan your visit to avoid the hottest part of the afternoon.
Check before you go
- Dynasty does not publish opening hours online, so call ahead to confirm they are serving lunch at your planned time.
- Bagh-e-Jinnah is a public park. While it is generally accessible during the day, check if there are any special events or closures on the day of your visit.
