Places to Visit in Afghanistan

There are so many beautiful places to visit in Afghanistan - even though there are no bowling alleys, you won't be bored here.

Tourism is just beginning, and there are many places safe and far from the war for visitors to enjoy. But do be warned - this is rugged tourism - expect no 5-star treatment outside of Kabul! Extreme travel and extreme vacations would be a better title for Afghanistan tourism.

Besides visiting the various cities listed, we've listed some of the top places visitors enjoy. We will be adding links to each page so check back frequently.

All the places listed below are either places we've gone to ourselves with our children, or we know of others who have gone with children to visit. We do not recommend knownunsafe places at this time. Read our security tips here.
