Islamabad Tourist Attractions, i'm looking for places to visit if you are a tourist in Islamabad. Attractions should cover both; places where the cost is affordable and places to visit in Islamabad which are very cost affective.

I'm also looking for local places in Islamabad that are not popular to tourist but they are popular to the locals living in Islamabad.  I also want to find out which places to visit if i really want to understand what Islamabad is all about, the Islamabad culture, its living style; basically what it was, what it is and what the future holds for Islamabad.

  2. Leonardo
    National Monument
    The monument is located at the west viewpoint of the Shakar Parian Hills, and is spread over a total area of 2.8 hectares. The high location makes the monument visible from across the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The foundation stone was laid on 25 May 2004 and the complex was completed by the end of 2006 for inauguration on 23 March 2007. The total cost incurred was more than Rs.580 million.[2]

    The structure comprises four blossoming flower petals, built of granite, representing the unity of Pakistani people. The inner walls of the petals are decorated with murals. The central platform is made in the shape of a five-pointed star which is surrounded by a water body. A metallic crescent surrounding the star is inscribed with sayings of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and poetry of Allama Iqbal.

    Attraction type: Sight Seeing, Lookout, History, Architectural Building
