Islamabad is a peaceful, clean, and organised city with wide roads lined with trees, well-kept parks, and the impressive Faisal Mosque.
Head to the Margalla Hills for a hike and some fresh air. Or visit Lok Virsa Museum to learn about local traditions. The weather is lovely most of the year, and the food is tasty and affordable.
