Islamabad is considered to be the aafest city of Pakistan, particularly because it is the capital. sectors like f8/f10/f11, I8 and e11 are considered to be VERY safe. however, i would still be a bit careful in more unpopular places like G/H sectors.

I have been living in g sector and never had experienced anything bad . While other sectors are much safer then this area . I wont recommend girls to travel alone at night . Otherwise its safe to travel during the day , you can use public commute too.

Islamabad has several sectors that are safe and pleasant to explore, especially E-9, F-6, F-7, F-8, F-10, and I-8 (particularly their main market areas). These neighbourhoods are great for hanging out and offer a comfortable atmosphere. Iād recommend being a bit more cautious in the G sectors, as they can vary in terms of safety. Many of the other sectors don't offer much in terms of attractions and are best avoided if you're on your own. The city has also recently introduced a decent network of buses, which are safe and convenient to use. However, they tend to get crowded during peak hours.
Posted: April 12, 2025Its safer to live in gated societies. Its safer to travel with people you trust. I dont use public transport or cabs unless I really have to. People are really nice and helpful here but its better to drive yourself or rent a car. Thats what I do and I live in a gated society where I am free to walk at 3 am and no one bothers me but cant say the same about public roads.

Islamabad is safest mostly the areas like f7, f10 f8 and f6 also bahria town and dha because there are always police and security nearby. And even if there are complaints about any activity the police take action immediately as the whole Islamabad is occupied by army.
Posted: January 1, 2025Its safer than other cities and extremely safe during the day. Most neighborhoods are safe but there might be some that are less safe for women. There is usually some staring and beggars might pester might can be ignored.

It was a great experiences being on this side of Pakistan never had a chance before to explore this city but now as I'm living here full time it's so much to explore and enjoy in here hope to find some good friends here too š
Posted: May 14, 2025Experienced: April, 2024There were a lot of things to do and it was easier on the budget ā I felt safe but also keep in mind I traveled with a group and also speak the local language. From hiking to shopping to eating, there were always many things to do and I had the best time
