Islamabad City happens to be one of the beautiful cities in the country. However, somehow, the fame it gained by way of its counterparts-Lahore and Karachi – somehow managed to overshadow it. It does, however, make the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern infrastructure with its richness in culture, thus marking it as the best place for tourists. Be it an adventure, history, or a place for quiet retreats, Islamabad happens to be something quite accessible for all of us. Here are a few reasons why you should book your next trip to Islamabad:
Breathtaking Natural Beauty
Islamabad is sandwiched between the historic Margalla Hills in its north and the calm lake of Rawal in its southern side. The city was famous for its lush green environment, forested hills, and pristine lakes. Be it a hiker or a biker or any stroller in the park, Islamabad’s scenic sites are sure to impress.
The many trails found here in the Margalla Hills National Park for trekking are followed mainly by one such trail Pir Sohawa. Views from the top are just unmatchable. Another beauty is that of Rawal Lake. The people can take pleasure either by riding in boats or by picnickling by the lake shore.
Modern Infrastructure and Cleanliness
Unlike other major cities, Islamabad enjoys clean streets, wide avenues, and well-maintained public spaces. The refreshment of the modern atmosphere is due to the contemporary structures and well-planned sectors of the city. Special attention has been given by the planners to greenery, which makes Islamabad a very environment-friendly city among all the cities in Pakistan.

Islamabad is not only a city rich in culture and history but also a natural hub. One of the landmark monuments of the city has this shape like a flower-a four-province representation that comprises the country of Pakistan, and inside this monument stands the Pakistan Museum, describing and portraying the history, culture, and heritage of this country.
Lok Virsa Museum, just nearby, is a good place for insight into the traditional art, crafts, and lifestyles of the different regions of Pakistan.
