2026 Kabul Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

Kabul, the capital of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is located in the Kabul River Valley at the southern foot of the Hindu Kush mountains in the eastern part of the country. As the capital of Kabul Province, it is also Afghanistan's largest city. With a history spanning over 3,500 years, Kabul is a renowned ancient city and a key hub on the famous Silk Road, the historic trade route connecting East and West. It served as a vital link for trade between Central and South Asia and was a center for cultural exchange. The name "Kabul" means "trade hub" in Sindhi. In 1773, after the Durrani Empire unified Afghanistan, Kabul became the nation's capital. Today, Kabul remains a city shrouded in mystery and charm, waiting to be explored by adventurous travelers. A journey through its history and culture awaits. 📷 Images 1 & 2: Flag Mountain (Koh-e-Afghan) in Wazir Akbar Khan, a hill in the once-elite district where many foreign embassies were located and affluent residents lived. At its summit, besides a park reminiscent of Babur's Gardens, stands a towering flagpole flying the large white Taliban flag. 📷 Images 3 & 4: Panoramic views of Kabul from Flag Mountain. 📷 Images 5 & 6: Babur Gardens (Bagh-e-Babur) Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire in 1526, held a deep affection for Kabul. Nostalgic for its cool mountain air and melons, he willed to be buried here in the gardens he commissioned. A descendant later fulfilled his wish by relocating the emperor's remains to the site. 📷 Images 7 & 8: Chicken Street, a whimsically named avenue in the city center popular with foreigners since the 1960s when Afghanistan was a stop on the hippie trail from Europe to India and Southeast Asia. The street is famed for its "Kuchi-style" jewelry, traditional ornaments of Afghanistan's nomadic people.

A heritage site in Kabul. There used to be two Buddah statues but it was destroyed by Talibans in 2001. This site had huge potential but unfortunately it's destroyed. However it's still worth a visit. There are many cave holes and it felt like Petra from Jordan. Tickets are 300AFN for foreigners. You can still walk around the area within tickets but won't get close to Buddah site. It gets very hot in summer so definitely apply sunscreen. #afghanistan

How is this?

Just got back from an eye-opening trip to Kabul, Afghanistan! 🏙️ The city is a blend of rich history and vibrant culture that took me by surprise. Walking through the streets, you can feel the energy and resilience of its people. One of the highlights was visiting the National Museum of Afghanistan, which has an impressive collection of artifacts that span the country's history. The gardens at Babur's Tomb were a serene escape from the bustling city, offering beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. 🕌 Don't miss the Kabul Zoo for a glimpse of local wildlife, and the colorful Chicken Street for unique souvenirs and handmade crafts. The bustling markets are a sensory overload in the best way, with a mix of spices, textiles, and local delicacies to explore. For a panoramic view of the city, head to the TV Hill – the trek is worth it! Nearby, Qargha Lake offers a refreshing spot for a picnic and a break from the urban rush. Kabul is a city of contrasts, resilience, and beauty that leaves a lasting impression. #Kabul #AfghanAdventure #CulturalJourney #TravelDiaries 🏙️🇦🇫
