Top tips for Frankfurt to Islamabad
Enjoy the great outdoors at Daman-e-Koh
While Frankfurt is known for its beautiful botanical garden, Palmengarten, Islamabad’s green spaces make the most of its hilly location. Daman-e-Koh is a hill-top garden and scenic look-out, which offers sweeping views of the city skyline. On clear days, you might even be able to see as far as the Salt Range mountains. In the winter, look out for monkeys.
Step back in time at the Lok Virsa Heritage Museum
Much like Frankfurt’s Städel Museum, the Lok Virsa Heritage Museum in Islamabad lets you find out more about the city’s history and culture. It’s the largest museum in the country, and features traditional handicrafts, complex wood carvings and authentic jewellery. Find out more about Pakistani people through the ages at the onsite reference library, or learn more about the city of Islamabad at the Pakistan Monument.
