Murree is sometimes referred to as the Queen of Pakistan's hill stations. She is, however, much more than a queen because the rest of the stations are smaller in size and inadequate in social amenities and requisites of daily life.
Murree is more like a modern town then a hill-station and by virtue of its easy accessibility and its enormous size, is an attractive resort both for holiday makers and seekers of solitude.
