Lonely Planet review

This famed street has been a focus for Afghanistan's tourists since the days of the Hippy Trail. All kinds of handicrafts are available here, from jewellery to carpets, 'antique' muskets to lapis lazuli. Good times ebb and flow with the number of international workers in the city (in Taliban-era Kabul, shop owners once chased us down the street, begging to open their shops for us), but starting prices are always high, so don't be afraid to haggle.
