While international visitors are generally advised to remain within the International Zone (Green Zone) for security reasons, exploring beyond its boundaries can offer a deeper insight into Baghdad's rich cultural and historical landscape. Outside the zone, you’ll find impressive monuments such as the Swords of Qadisiyyah and the Al-Shaheed Memorial, as well as significant museums like the Iraqi National Museum.
