Peshawar is known as the "City of Flowers" in Pakistan.
This title stems from Peshawar's historical association with lush gardens and a vibrant floral landscape, particularly during the Mughal era. While its cultural landscape has evolved, the nickname persists, reflecting a nostalgic connection to the city's verdant past. While modern Peshawar presents a mix of urban development and traditional bazaars, the legacy of its flourishing gardens contributes to its enduring identity as the "City of Flowers."
