It should be noted that much of the land in Afghanistan is still mined and, therefore, trips outside urban areas are ill-advised and dangerous.
• Visit Afghanistan's capital, Kabul; Although one-third of all public buildings and approximately 40% of the houses were completely destroyed in 2001, a few conventional attractions for tourists remain. These include the Gardens of Babur and a well-presented museum, and the ancient walls of the citadel Bala Hissar. There are plans to re-open the National Gallery.
