The Centaurus is Islamabad's largest shopping mall — three towers above a four-storey retail base — and the city's main concentration of international brand stores: Zara, Mango, Calvin Klein, Sephora, the usual list. The food court on the top floor has the largest collection of Western restaurant chains in Islamabad.
It is the easiest place to escape the heat for a few hours and a useful one-stop shop for any kit you forgot to pack. Open daily until late.
