• Pakistan's capital is home to some of the country's best hotels. Islamabad is a small city where all the major attractions and sights can be reached within a 10- to 15-minute drive. You'll be hard pressed to find a budget hotel in this oasis of greenery and planned roads, so if you're looking for cheap accommodation, you'll be better off in Rawalpindi, Islamabad's sister city. Islamabad hotels cater to foreign businessmen, diplomats and executives.
