Spend a half‑day in Toba Tek Singh to see the Immaculate Conception Church and the railway station; one full day is enough.
Toba Tek Singh is a small town in Punjab, Pakistan, best visited as a day‑trip from Faisalabad. The main sights are the historic Catholic church and the railway station, both within walking distance of each other. Trains run hourly from Faisalabad, making a round‑trip in about 2–3 hours, so a single day covers the highlights.
