There are a lot of places to seen in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. Shah Faisal Mosque is one, the Margalla hills right surrounding Islamabad are something that isnt to be missed. Shakarparian is another wonderful place. Attend concerts in the open air theater or just sit by the lotus lake and relax..Shakarparian is a must see. oh and dont miss the Lok Virsa museum, its been renovated recently and is delightful. The bazars in Islamabad are real tourist magnets... buy anything you feel like buying, but you have to know a little about the art of bargaining. Islamabad is divided into sectors, each sector having its own central shopping area (or Markaz) where all local amenities are located. Some of the more popular Markaz are the F6 markaz (aka Supermarket) F7 markaz (aka Jinnah Market), F8 markaz (aka Ayub market) and so on. Each markaz has its own peculiarities and each one is worth visiting individually. However most things are catered for in each markaz i.e. clothing, shoes, fast food etc. There’s always a real buzz in the evenings when all the shoppers come out, particularly in the run up to Eid. There is a wonderful little coffee shop/sheesh bar called Ye Olde Hang Out. They serve a small selection of global and local food, and play sexy Bollywood and Egyptian videos. Posters of Jimi Hendrix, 50 Cents, Marylin Manson and Angus Young are on the walls. One room is all men. Another for mixed couples and ladies only.
