Taxila Excavations
Most of the main sites are within 2km of the museum. There's a large map of the site outside the museum and each site is signposted from the road and has an information board at its entrance. By car you can see most of the sites in a short half day. Walking and/or taking a sedate tonga will keep you busy for six or seven hours. Entrance to all the sites costs Rs200. Pay once and retain the ticket, which you need to show at each site to gain entry.

Taxila Museum
The rewarding Taxila Museum is closed the first Monday of each month and closes early (14:00) during Ramazan (Ramadan). It houses many of the significant finds from the Taxila site, particularly from the Kushan era. These include exquisite Buddha sculptures with intriguing Mediterranean faces, temple friezes, silver and bronze artefacts and old coins. Photography is prohibited.
