Kabul Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan. It is located in the center of the country and under normal circumstances it would be you best place to explore it. Let's get to the point right away: Kabul is a dangerous city in a dangerous country. Since the Taliban conquered it it has become a safer place, but it should still be considered very much off the beaten track. Unless you are a very adventurous traveler you have no business here. Since you are still reading we assume you are. The two things on your to do list in Kabul is visit the Kabul Museum and the Garden of Babur. Then you will want to make a daytrip to the the Valley of Paghman. Don't count on finding any regular buses. For transport to other parts your best bet maybe to try to hitch rides with the few ex-pats that still survive. They have jeeps and access to planes and heli's. Note however that the freedom of movement in all of Afghanistan is subject to permission of the Taliban.
