Travel Guide: Places To Visit in Islamabad and Things To Do

• Nov 12, 2019

Share Tweet Email

When it comes to travelling to Pakistan, visiting Islamabad is almost unavoidable, especially if you are flying into Pakistan. Some people might want to skip the city and jump into their adventure trips to explore the northern part of Pakistan or other parts of the country, but I would recommend you not to do so.

I already wrote about what you need to know before travelling to Pakistan and answered the most frequently asked question: “Is Pakistan safe to visit?”. For this reason, in this article, I will mainly focus on Islamabad.

Islamabad is not just like any other capital cities in the world. The city is unique and it is very different from other cities in Pakistan.

There are a lot of things to do and beautiful places to visit in and around Islamabad. It is worth spending at least 2 or 3 days in Islamabad to explore the city and its surroundings. This is our guide to Islamabad and things you should know before you visit.

When is the best time to travel to Islamabad?

Islamabad can be very warm during the summers and humidity makes it feel even warmer. Mid-July is considered the hottest time of the year when the temperature can fluctuate around 40°C. It is best to avoid travelling to Pakistan during the hot seasons, especially if you are planning to go to the centre of the country or the southern areas.

Many tourists prefer to travel to Islamabad between September and October or between March and April when the weather cools down and it is more comfortable to be outside. Moreover, these months are considered the best months to travel to the mountains in the northern parts of the country.

Islamabad can get cold and frosty during the winters, but the temperature will not be unbearable. If you plan to visit Pakistan in the winter, you can fly to Islamabad and then travel to the south to visit Karachi and Balochistan to enjoy the milder weather.

Where to stay in Islamabad

Islamabad is a lush green city with a population just below 1.9 million people. This city doesn’t have a single city centre. You will find a variety of shops and restaurants in various areas, but the Blue Area is considered one of the main central locations in the city.

It is good to book your accommodation not too far from the Blue Area. If you book anywhere in the sectors G6-G8 or the sectors F6-F8, you will have to walk 20 to 30 minutes or get a taxi to get to the main shopping malls and restaurants in the Blue Area.

There are a variety of options for different budgets. Keep in mind that accommodation is quite cheap in Pakistan compared to the other parts of the world, and you should be able to book a decent room in a good hotel for less than £50 per night.

Serai Boutique Hotel in F6, you can book it here

Riviera in F8, you can book it here

Hill View Hotel in F7, you can book it here

Jasmine Inn in G8, you can book it here

How to get around Islamabad

Islamabad is a safe place to walk around, but you might not be able to find pavements next to every street and crossing some roads could be dangerous. Taking a taxi or an Uber is the most convenient way to travel around Islamabad.

Taxis in Islamabad don’t have taximeters readers or a fixed price. When you arrive at your destination, the taxi driver might ask you to pay as much as you like, and it can be a little confusing for tourists. If your ride is around 10 to 20 minutes, you should pay roughly 150 to 200 Rs.

If you would rather avoid the headache and the confusion, take an Uber. Uber is widely used in Islamabad, and it is also very cheap.

Let me share our experience. We took a 10-minute taxi ride on our first night in Islamabad and we were clueless about the prices. When the taxi driver asked us to pay as much as we wanted, we were honest and told him we just arrived in the city and we had no idea what was fair. He ended up charging us 1000 Rs. Later on, we found out that 150 to 200 Rs was a fairer price for the ride. Once we got back to Islamabad from our travels around the country, we only used Uber in the city.

Internet and How To Buy SIM Cards in Islamabad

Most of the hotels in Islamabad offer free WiFi, but it is not as easy to find reliable WiFi networks in the city. I would recommend you to buy a SIM card with a data plan.

Keep in mind that as a foreigner you can’t buy a SIM card at the airport. In general, buying a SIM card as a foreigner in Pakistan is not as easy as in most other countries. You can only get a prepaid SIM Card at Franchise. You must have your passport with you to be able to purchase one. You have two options, a data-only SIM card or one that includes calls. If you need to be in touch with your local guide or call hotels to book rooms while travelling around the country, you should probably opt for a SIM card that allows you to make calls as well.

Places To Visit in Islamabad and Things To Do

Visit the shah faisal mosque.

The Shah Faisal Mosque, situated at the foot of the Margalla Hills, is the largest mosque in Pakistan and it holds a special place in the country’s Muslim community.

The mosque has been named after Saudi King Faisal, who granted $120 million to Pakistan to build this unique mosque. It can accommodate more than 100,000 worshippers in its main hall and its vast courtyard.

You should visit this impressive landmark during the sunset to be blown away by its outstanding beauty.

The Pakistan Monument

The Pakistan Monument, located on the western Shakarparian Hills in Islamabad, is considered a national museum in Pakistan and part of its heritage. This amazing monument was built as a symbol of unity between people in the country.

If you want to have the whole monument to yourself, you should visit it in the early morning, before the local tourists arrive. I would recommend you to go there during the sunrise or sunset for taking some amazing photos.

Centaurus Mall

I usually don’t add visiting malls to my top things-to-do list, but here in Islamabad, you should visit the Centaurus Mall, the biggest mall in Pakistan. The mall is not that huge but it will let you experience the modern side of Pakistan. In addition, if you need to buy anything, it is the best place to shop.

This mall can be a great place to eat because it hosts some international restaurants and a large food court. I always recommend eating local dishes when you travel to a destination, but here is a little different. We enjoyed eating in La Terrazza (on the 3rd floor), an Italian restaurant, where we had an amazing view of Islamabad and tried some Italian dishes with a Pakistani twist.

Hiking in Margalla Hills

Margalla Hills is a lush green hill range in the north of Islamabad on the foothills of the Himalaya mountains.

There are various walking and hiking trails you can take. You might see some wildlife such as wild boars, Asian paradise flycatchers and monkeys. You can find the trails map in major bookstores in Islamabad. Some of the trails are good for a short walk, but some of them can take up to three days.

Daman-E-Koh Viewpoint

Daman-E-Koh is a combination of two Persian words and means foothill. This park is located in Margalla Hills, easily reachable by taxi or Uber. Here you can have a great view overlooking the whole city of Islamabad. Daman-E-Koh Viewpoint is where you can have a better look at how green and beautiful Islamabad is.

This place is popular amongst local families and it can get busy in the evening. You should keep an eye on your belongings, especially your phone and your food, because there are many wild monkeys around the park. They are a little aggressive and they tend to collect anything they can. I got close to one of them to take a photo when it suddenly jumped at me trying to take my phone from my hands. Luckily, I was faster and managed to keep it to myself.

Where to eat in Islamabad

If you never tried Pakistani food, get ready to gain some weight, because Pakistani dishes are tasty. The food can be spicy, and if your stomach doesn’t tolerate chilli food make sure to let the restaurant know before ordering.

There are a lot of good restaurants and here I listed some of the best places to eat in Islamabad.

Kabul Restaurant : Kabul restaurant is located in the sector F7, close to the Safa Gold Mall. This place is famous for its grilled meat and it serves Afghan food. It is popular amongst locals and suitable for both lunch and dinner.

Monal Restaurant : If you go further up the hill from Daman-e-Koh, you will find a very nice restaurant with a great view: Monal Restaurant. You might find this restaurant a bit pricey but one meal or even just a drink (a soft drink, of course) is worth it for the view.

Rawalpindi Food Street : Rawalpindi is one of the busiest street food markets in Pakistan. You will need to take a taxi to get there. It usually takes less than 20 minutes to drive there from Islamabad. It is worth a visit as you will find a lot of good restaurants in one single street.

Islamabad is the most modern city in Pakistan where most tourists start their trips before going on exploring the country. We really enjoyed our time in this city and I hope you have a great time there, too.

Is Islamabad Safe? Crime Rates & Safety Report

Pakistan : Safety by City

Islamabad is and has been the capital of Pakistan since 1963.

Islamabad, as compared to other big to medium-sized cities of Pakistan, has still somewhat maintained its reputation of being a quiet and peaceful city.

The weather is pleasant throughout the year.

The traffic is less, as compared to other cities in Pakistan and is also more organized.

People from almost all provinces live here and are friendly.

The suburbs in Islamabad are the same everywhere.

The size of the houses could be different but the shape and look and feel of the surrounding will be more or less the same.

• Warnings & Dangers in Islamabad

OVERALL RISK: MEDIUM

Islamabad is, in general, a safe and calm city. But, with poverty flooding the country, it does have many dangers. Your biggest risks are shootings, bombings, and terrorist attacks.

TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK: MEDIUM

Tourists are advised to take be extra careful at the airport itself. Avoid all forms of public transportation including taxis and buses: if at all possible, arrange with the people you're staying with to pick you up from the airport.

PICKPOCKETS RISK: LOW

Petty street crime is somewhat of an issue in Islamabad and tourists are strongly advised against carrying valuables with them while on the streets: passports, bank cards, bags, jewelry, laptops, mobile phones, iPads and anything else you can think of should be left at home.

NATURAL DISASTERS RISK: MEDIUM

As for natural disasters, Islamabad is susceptible to a couple of them that have hit in the past, like heatwaves, earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis. Monitor the situation and follow the advice from the authorities.

MUGGING RISK: LOW

Violent crime rates are pretty low in Islamabad when it comes to armed robbery, robbery, carjacking, kidnappings, home invasion, and even murder. Men can walk safely anywhere in Islamabad, while women can too, but they'll often attract the unwanted attention of men. Apart from that, you're safe.

TERRORISM RISK: HIGH

Terrorists are very likely to try and carry out attacks in Islamabad. The biggest threat comes from Tehrik-e Taleban Pakistan, which is an umbrella organization of groups based in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. TTP carry out attacks throughout Pakistan, and the attacks are usually carried out using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), including suicide attacks.

SCAMS RISK: MEDIUM

There are scammers in Islamabad trying to take advantage of tourists, and the situation with scams is similar as in any other city. Be wary when handling money and of anyone trying to distract you. Taxi drivers might try to trick you into paying more, giving you wrongful information about the price of the ride.

WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK: MEDIUM

Women shouldn't let their guard down in Islamabad. Women walking alone, be it day or night, will attract the unwanted attention of men and passers-by. Apply all precaution measures at all times and avoid dark and empty streets and locations.

• So... How Safe Is Islamabad Really?

Though it has been said that Pakistan as a whole is a very dangerous country, it should be noted that Islamabad is rather safe.

The biggest fear for foreigners in Islamabad, when it comes to safety, is because this country has suffered from several bomb attacks during the last couple of years, and they were aimed against security forces, so-called western institutions.

Most recently, there was an explosion at a fruit market on 9 April 2014 and terrorists attacked a court in the F8 on 3 March 2014.

But the reality is quite different and the city is pretty safe.

You can go outside easily during the late midnight hours and can have a walk alone and of course, you can hang out until midnight.

Women that walk the streets alone will attract male attention, especially in areas of the city not often frequented by westerners.

If you visit these parts of the city, its good to be in a group, and avoid dimly lit streets.

Tourists are also strongly advised against visiting political gatherings, as – though it’s a country filled with friendly people – these gatherings might escalate into a protest that can turn violent and in some cases deadly.

• How Does Islamabad Compare?
• Useful Information

Most countries do need a visa to enter Islamabad. Some travelers can get a visa on arrival if traveling as part of a group tour, or for business. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months past your stay in Pakistan. If you are not sure about your visa status, contact your local Pakistani embassy for further information.

The Pakistani rupee is the official currency in Islamabad. There are ATMs in Lahore and Islamabad and they accept foreign credit cards. Top-end establishments accept credit cards, but you are advised to bring cash with you.

Islamabad climate can be divided into three seasons: winter, which lasts from November to March, which is warm and affected by sea breezes on the coast, summer that lasts from April to July, with extreme temperatures and the monsoon season that lasts from July to September.

Islamabad International Airport is the main international airport in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital. It is built 20 km outside the twin cities near the Kashmir Highway and Motorway Interchange.

Travel Insurance

Just like anywhere else, we advise getting travel insurance when traveling to Islamabad, because it would cover not only medical problems but also theft and loss of valuables.

Media is all lies.

I am a white female visitor and I have been to Pakistan twice and from my experience Islamabad is an AMAZING city. What the WESTERN MEDIA tells you is UNTRUE. This is an amazing place and there is no terrorism or attacks in Islamabad and people are very friendly and I didn’t feel in danger even ONCE unlike what people had said to me and what it says here. The culture there is to treat every woman as your sister, every man as your brother, the elderly as your parents/grandparents and children as your own and their religion makes them truly amazing and beautiful people, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT believe people or media who are being islamophobic and if you REALLY want to know what a place is like to tell others go and visit it first. Much Love <3

Better you go there yourself and see it.

SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH.

I am from Islamabad there is no bombings or terrorist attacks SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH.

What the ****. I live in Islamabad.and its the safest city…

What a load of nonsense. I’ve lived in Islamabad my whole life, and have yet to experience a “terrorist attack” that you claim are “very likely.”

All my foreigner friends brothrs and sisters are more than welcome to one of the safest and beautiful city. Media is all crap. It’s much much safer than New York, London and New Delhi.

Lol how he mentioned “tsunamis” when Islamabad is literally far away from the coast makes me wanna slap him how he’s targetting Pakistanis

you are right, this is black face of media

Your wrong description of islamabad

Your input seems to be from one of the 750 fake websites India has established to malign Pakistan as dicovered by the EU lab, European union. Amend your write up on Islamabad otherwise you will suffer creditibality issues. Don’t fall for the Indian anti Pakistan propoganda. I have visited Islamabad, it’s a beautiful city and peaceful. A heaven on earth with wonderful people. Weather is awesome. See lots of tourists there.

Safe-enough.

Hi, I am a resident of Islamabad and I endorse this assessment. I live in one of the safest neighbourhoods, F7, but Islamabad has had its share of issues over the past. Just because security and safety are good right now (April 2021) it doesn’t mean it has been good in the past. I think most people in Islamabad are forgetting what it was like a decade ago when we were facing terrorism throughout the country.

Having said all of that I agree that currently “the reality is quite different and the city is pretty safe.”

They’re right in some and wrong in some. Islamabad has been improving as a city since the past few years, sure there are tons of crimes and terrorists throughout the nation but Islamabad is quite different. And it’s funny how they rated Lahore safer than Islamabad when it’s the opposite. Lahore is crowded and filled with crime while Islamabad is organized and modern.

Want to visit

These reviews are very helpful. I plan to visit Islamabad next year. How safe is it at this time?

I have heard so much about Wild Wings in Islamabad, that they have one of the best wings in twin cities. Yesterday I have tried their Traditional and Naked wings, alongside Taco Fries, Nacho Libre Burger and Fish and Chips. Taste was very good. Service and Ambience were on point. Crisp Fish could be more better. I become fan of their Wings. 🙌🏻Definitely visiting again.
