"Not as fun as Lahore, but a nice place to be" Islamabad by wendeth

It was a nice place to see, one of the largest mosques in the world I'm told. While we couldn't go in b/c of its limited opening times, we were able to walk around and shop in the gift shops :) Be far warned, you want to make sure you have socks on b/c you have to take off your shoes and the marble is COLD!
- Pros:Organized streets, clean for the most part, cabs are cheap
- Cons:not as fun as lahore, nothing much to do
- In a nutshell:great for people who are a little nervous about being a foreigner in Pakistan

Take a trip up to Murree and while you'll most likely freeze if you go in the winter, you'll see a wonderful sight. Snow... more travel advice

Pretty neat place to see around sunset. While you can't go in during the day, you can walk around and enjoy the scenery... more travel advice
