Things to do in Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory: The Best Museums

April 1, 2022 Yuk Petri

Serving as the capital of Pakistan since the Sixties, Islamabad was built according to a carefully organized plan, divided into sectors along a grid of clean, tree-lined streets. The city is sheltered by the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas and the home of rare species of leopard, deer, birds, and even porcupines. Several hiking paths end at Daman-e-Koh, a picnic spot with a splendid view of the entire city, including the massive modernist Faisal Mosque and even the Rawal Dam.

Pakistan Railways Heritage Museum

Reviewed By nelufarraza00 - Amherst, United States

Islamabad being a new city does not have much historic things to see. This Museum has good collection of historical items and makes us reflect back to the amazing and also saddening history. You will get to see some old railway buses which are now apart of this museum and some items from the British and Independence era. The huge old trees around this railway museum add to the scenery. A must see place for people interested in historic things.

It has different galleries Dino, fish, planet , stones, birds, animals etc. Different stuffed species and skeletons are treat to watch! Highly recommended!
