Top Culture in Islamabad

I recommend bringing a water bottle. There's not much access to shops nearby, and it can get pretty warm, especially during the day.

I think you should be mindful of the prayer times, especially if you're visiting on a Friday. It can get quite busy, and you might miss some parts of the mosque while waiting.

My advice is to use public transport if possible. Parking can get really full, and it's a hassle to find a spot. The local buses run pretty well.

If you’re looking for a great photo op, head to the top of the stairs near the entrance. The angle of the monument against the skyline is amazing.
