Will be in Islamabad for 1 day, with young kids (6-11yrs) from UK.
What would you suggest to visit and what to avoid?

Also, better to just get a car/driver for the day? What are the alternatives

And how much time should one include for being in a car on the streets?

Islamabad still has those annoying checkposts where the cops think Pakistan is in a state of war?

Most of them have been removed or are non functional now. Only a couple remain at sensitive locations. But the overall traffic situation is worse at peak hours.

thank you all, sounds like 1 day is sufficient (if we get up early enough).

Any suggestions on transport arrangements? Hire car (and driver or self drive) for day or use mix of taxis & public transport

So, I'll be in Islamabad with Kids next Sunday inshAllah. Is there anything going on next Sunday - either one off-event or even if it's regular Sunday thing?
