Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Raja Bazaar is a great way to see the "real city". It is full of the hustle and bustle of a real market and there are many different areas to see. You'll find everything from gold through electricals to clothes, pots and pans! Just head off down one of the side ways and enjoy.

Raja Bazar the oldest and most busiest market in Rawalpindi. It is the main business hub for shopping specially for whole sale shopping. You can find nearly every kind of products at this place from Household items to electronic equipment, medicines, clothes, car accessories, you name it and will be available in Raja Bazar. As it offers so many items it is obviously crowed so if you are planning a visit its better to go there in afternoon as it is less crowded in afternoon then in the evening. Prices are reasonable and you can try your bargaining skills too. Many different public transport run between Raza Bazar and the city but you can also reach here by Taxi.

Raja Bazaar is a place where I least enjoy to go for one simple reason – one cannot get a place to park one’s car. The place is already occupied by hundreds of motorcycles so artfully parked by the shopkeepers that no one gets to park his (I have excluded her as no woman driver would dare test her driving skills here, specially of parking) vehicle in front of their shops. I fail to understand this phenomenon as unless people come to the market, how can the buy. But every shopkeeper would want that a car owner parks his car anywhere except in front of his shop. Going by the analogy, you cannot park your car anywhere.
But once you are lucky to park your vehicle, then you have the cheapest bazaar all open to you. When I accompany my better half to the place, we usually go for the general merchandise market first. And after dumping the heavier load in the car, we go to the cloth market where the lighter gender has more interest. Here laces for the clothes and all allied material are available at wholesale rate. Besides, it also has the fruit and vegetable market which becomes the last stop before going back home full loaded and empty pocketed.

None of the markets and shops are opened properly during lock-down, including Raja Bazar.
Some shop keepers are opening the shops but with front shutters down. If you go there, there is a chance that you might find some shops opened. But for that you have to ask the persons standing outside the shops and they might let you enter.
