Islamabad: Pakistan’s picturesque capital

Book your visit to Islamabad

Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan, is not only a city of culture and history but it’s also a place of distinct natural beauty. Picturesque hills and vast lakes are located just minutes from the city centre, making it a destination of adventure, relaxation and culture.

The city itself is renowned for its stunning architecture, and thriving food and arts scene. Discover modern landmarks, explore the old parts of town and embrace the tranquillity of its natural surroundings.

With its extensive historical past, diversity and beautiful landscapes, Islamabad invites visitors to experience the best of Pakistan.

Things to do in Islamabad

The Faisal Mosque is Islamabad’s most iconic landmark. As the fifth largest mosque in the world, its impressive contemporary architecture and serene ambiance make it a must-visit attraction. Next, explore the Pakistan Monument, a national symbol that represents the provinces and territories of Pakistan. The adjoining museum details rich stories of the country’s history and heritage.

For an educational family activity, visit the Pakistan Museum of Natural History, which houses exhibits on the country’s diverse natural past.

Travel outside of the city to Shah Allah Ditta Caves, nestled in the Margalla Hills. These prehistoric limestone caves are an absolute marvel and the surrounding trails are incredible hiking locations.

Activities in Islamabad

Outdoor activities are abundant in Islamabad, with the majestic Margalla Hills situated just a few kilometres from the city centre. It provides an ideal setting for rock climbing and hiking, including the Dara Janglan – otherwise known as Hiking Trail 5. This scenic nature walk is also popular for bird watching. The nearby Bruti Waterfall is a hidden gem and typical rest stop for hikers.

Take a car out of the city to Rawal Lake for water-based activities. It is an idyllic spot for boating, fishing and a picnic by the waters.

For a more relaxing encounter, head to Fatima Jinnah Park, also known as F-9 Park. It’s a great space for picnics and leisurely walks. Shakarparian National Park is another recreational place that offers panoramic views of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Food in Islamabad

Head to Saidpur Village for authentic Pakistani street food. Indulge in pani puri (hollow, fried dough balls filled with potatoes), crispy samosas, flavourful fritters called pakoras, and tangy chaat – crispy, fried dough wafers. F-10 Markaz is also an area filled with international street food, serving everything from burgers to samosas.

Pakistani barbecue is another must-try, with juicy kebabs and spicy tikka demonstrating the country’s grilling traditions. Make sure to try a traditional breakfast, featuring halwa puri – fried flatbread served with a semolina pudding, nihari – a spiced beef stew, and parathas – flaky flatbread.

Islamabad Food Street is a hotspot for even more local foods, but also international cuisine. Be sure to taste Pakistan’s most favoured dish, biryani, which consists of layers of spiced rice and tender meat.
