Despite the losses the garden took during the civil war, they are quite lovely. It's a great place to relax, very cool with ample room for couples or a private party of friends. The histories of the Tomb, Queen's palace, Mosque and Pavilion are all very interesting and the staff is knowledgeable but it's probably the surrounding views of the city that make this a must see on your visit to Kabul.
