Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tehran, is a magnificent royal palace and museum complex that showcases the opulence of the Qajar era. Originally dating back to the Safavid and Zand eras, it reached its peak during the reign of the Qajar kings. Visitors are captivated by its ornate architecture and treasures such as marble thrones.
Historic and glorious place in the heart of tehran, the Qajar dynasty were live in this palace and ruled for decades, such a majestic art and architecture, surely every one in the world must see this magnificent palace. Iran is safe, Iranians are easy going people and perfect in hosting
Mo E — Google review
Golestan Palace is one of the most beautiful and historic places in Tehran, located right inside the Tehran Grand Bazaar. After exploring the palace, you can easily spend time wandering through the vibrant market nearby. Originally built during the Safavid era and expanded during the Qajar dynasty, the palace shows a unique blend of Persian architectural styles. The intricate turquoise tiles, delicate plasterwork, and dazzling mirror decorations create a stunning atmosphere. The peaceful gardens with flowing fountains add a special charm to the experience. Having visited many European palaces, where warm colors are used indoors and ceilings are often painted, I find it hard to decide whether I prefer the European painted ceilings or the exquisite plasterwork and mirror art of Golestan Palace. Golestan Palace also played an important role in Iran’s history, witnessing events such as the coronation of Naser al-Din Shah and the signing of the country’s first constitution. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, this palace remains a remarkable symbol of Iranian culture and history. It is definitely a place to visit if you want to feel the richness of Iran’s past and artistry.

Golestan Palace, this magnificent monument of the Qajar dynasty, enchants every visitor like an unfinished story. A place where Iranian art has reached its peak in unique architecture, delicate tilework, eye-catching mirrorwork and masterful paintings. More than a historical monument, this palace narrates the splendor and grandeur of the Qajar kings, court customs and lifestyle of that era. Entering Golestan Palace, it is as if you are traveling in a time tunnel and witnessing important historical events, fateful decisions and unique manifestations of Iranian art.

You can reach Golestan Palace by the Imam Khomeini metro lines. It is very difficult to reach by car and there is a traffic pattern. If you have a motorbike, you can go by motorbike. There are several exits to Imam Khomeini Station, and the closest one is the one in the center of Tehran's Grand Bazaar. At the beginning of the entrance to the palace, you must choose from a machine and draw a card. The cost of visiting each part of Golestan Palace is 15,000 tomans in 2025. You will be given a receipt and a receipt that they will stamp for you at the beginning of entering each hall. There are people in the palace who only guide you and answer your questions about the history of Golestan Palace during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah. It consists of several sections and has different and attractive sections, it has a clean health service, a prayer room, a cafe and a restaurant inside the Golestan Palace, and the main tomb of Nasser al-Din Shah. One of the large ponds is without water, and the fountains of the ponds are not working and their water has rocketed. The behavior of the palace's services and staff is good, and the information on the signboards is not accurate and easy to read. I think you should do a thorough study of the history beforehand. The entrance and exit of Golestan Palace is through a gate. People who enter the palace with specialized cameras for photography and filming are not allowed to film or take pictures without official permission, but you can take photos and videos with your mobile phone camera. Chinese tourists are mostly seen here, some tour groups explain to them in English and tell the history and stories of the past. There are other people who explain things to Iranian speakers in Persian with precise analysis and excellent knowledge, and people can use these services for free.

The Golestan Palace, located in the historic heart of Tehran, is one of the oldest royal complexes in the city and a masterpiece of Qajar-era architecture. Once the seat of the Qajar dynasty, it reflects a fascinating fusion of traditional Persian art and 19th-century European influences. The complex includes several halls and museums, such as the Marble Throne Hall, the Mirror Hall, and the Diamond Hall, each showcasing intricate tilework, stucco, mirror mosaics, and ornate decorations. The palace was a ceremonial center where coronations and royal receptions were held, including that of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Its lush courtyard and pools create a serene contrast to the urban bustle surrounding it. Today, Golestan Palace is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated not only for its artistic beauty but also as a living archive of Iran’s royal and cultural evolution.

One of the most beautiful royal palaces from the Qajar era, with stunning and eye-catching architecture and many museums, all of which I truly enjoyed visiting.
Hannan S — Google review
The most Beautiful spot in the city. Entry fee is expensive with 15.5Million IRR (EUR25) for foreigners but worth every Riyal spent. If you are in Tehran, a must visit spot. It is not just a single museum or palace, but a collection of many, including the most beautiful halls in the world, decorated with glass and other precious metals. Be prepared to spend 2-3hrs easily in royal premises looking back in time at the ways the highly priviledged led their lives back then

Observation Decks & Towers
Milad Tower, a 435-meter telecommunications tower, has been a prominent feature of Tehran's skyline since its opening in 2007. Offering breathtaking panoramic views and unique experiences, it stands as a symbol of Iran's modernity. The tower boasts an observation deck and a revolving restaurant, providing visitors with the opportunity to see the city from new heights. With its modern design and 12 floors, it is not only the tallest tower in Iran but also ranks as the sixth tallest telecommunications tower globally.
Milad tower is really good tower to visit specially outside scenery is really beautifully bcz of mountain and greenry outside .I have seen and visits some other tallest tower like Burj khalifa . Petronas tower and Shanghai tower but in milad tower u can enjoy Boggie jumping and other good play on very height.must recommend for visitor Tehran.
Asim N — Google review
This should be a really nice place to visit as it has incredible views of Tehran but it’s let down by some issues. Firstly the parking isn’t great and the lifts are far too few for the number of visitors. The lifts inside the tower are also completely inadequate for how many people can visit the place in any one time. Overall the views are let down by the stresses and the headaches you’ll have to go through.
S A — Google review
Milad Tower is one of the most recognisable landmarks in Tehran and for years I had wanted to visit. From the outside it is a striking piece of engineering and an undeniable symbol of the city. Unfortunately, the experience inside was disappointing and fell far short of what such an iconic attraction should offer. Parking and Access Reaching the parking area was frustrating. It took around 30 minutes just to enter and nearly an hour to exit. During that time we were stuck in the car with no proper ventilation, which made the wait extremely unpleasant. Facilities and Cleanliness The number of toilets is inadequate for the large volume of visitors. There was a long queue and the situation was more difficult because some people were using the space to perform vozo (ablution before prayer). Those waiting had to share the area with others preparing for prayer, which caused congestion and discomfort. To make matters worse, the bathrooms were not clean. Tour to the Top The process of reaching the open observation deck was equally disappointing. Out of our four-hour visit, almost two hours and forty-five minutes were spent standing in queues—first to buy tickets, then for the lifts, and again for each section of the tour. The view of Tehran from the top is beautiful and the glass-walled lift provides a good perspective on the way up, but there were no telescopes for visitors wanting a closer look. The number of lifts is not sufficient for the crowds. Either a timed-entry system is needed so visitors know when to arrive, or ticket sales should be limited. For the final levels of the tour, even allowing the option of using stairs would help. At one stage we waited 40 minutes in a queue simply to move up a single level. Other Attractions The Sky Dome section felt unnecessary. There was little of interest and a staff member kept announcing over a loudspeaker for visitors to “have a look and leave”, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere—especially frustrating when I wanted to leave but still had to queue for the lift. The final part of the visit included the Museum of Celebrities and the Museum of Municipality. Although the statues of well-known Iranian figures and displays of medals and honours could have been impressive, the presentation was poor. The space looked dusty and dirty, and the glass display cases were poorly maintained—far below the standard expected of a national landmark. Overall Impression Milad Tower deserves credit for its architectural and engineering achievement, and that is the only reason I have rated it one star instead of one. However, the visitor experience is badly let down by poor organisation, lack of cleanliness, and inadequate facilities. With better management and attention to detail, the tower could truly reflect the pride that such an important symbol of Tehran ought to inspire.

Milad Tower defines modern Tehran. Standing tall among the skyline, it gives you a panoramic view of the city that’s simply unforgettable. From the top, you can see the Alborz Mountains hugging the city, especially magical during sunset. The observation deck is well-maintained, and the café at the top is a perfect spot to relax with tea while watching the city lights come alive. There’s also an art gallery and small museums inside the complex. It’s not just a tower—it’s a symbol of how Tehran balances tradition with progress. The elevator ride to the top is smooth and surprisingly fast, adding to the excitement. Whether you go day or night, Milad Tower offers a perspective you can’t find anywhere else.

Milad Tower, with a height of 435 meters, is the tallest tower in Iran and has many facilities such as a revolving restaurant, an observation deck, a museum, and a conference hall. This tower has both telecommunications and recreational uses. This tower is a symbol of Tehran and is located in District 2. It is worth seeing and is also a good place for tourism.

An spectacular experience and a must visit for anyone! The city view is amazing and there are lots of fun that you could have up there, and with a fair price. Perfect for spending a special day with your loved ones. I spent my birthday here and made one of the most memorable and wonderful days of my life. This tower is unbelievably beautiful! Also there are lots of unique souvenir shops and restaurants to choose from. There is just something about it that makes it special. The best time to visit is when the weather is warm and partly cloudy, without winds. And make sure to go there when you could witness the perfect sunset and also see the city in night-time. It's like you are watching the whole city from an airplane window but you got enough time to watch everything and enjoy.

Azadi Tower is a prominent landmark in Tehran, featuring an underground museum, gallery, and an observation deck offering stunning city views. Visitors can spend a day exploring the tower's surroundings, including the Former U.S. Embassy museum and nearby Golestan Palace. Additionally, they can savor Persian heritage at Tehran Bazaar and enjoy panoramic vistas from Baam-e Tehran.
Azadi Square, formerly known as Shahyad Square, is a must see attraction in the mainly green city square in Tehran, Iran. It hosts as its centerpiece the Azadi Tower. The tower and square were commissioned to mark the 2,500-year celebration of the Persian empire

Azadi Tower, its design is a combination of traditional Iranian and modern architecture (by Hossein Amanat) - It was built in 1960 and was considered the gateway to Tehran from Mehrabad Airport It has a museum, gallery, exhibition hall and cultural spaces Due to its central and symbolic location, it is the venue for many ceremonies and gatherings The Azadi Tower is not only a beautiful structure, but also a symbol of identity for Tehran. Of course, it is now a little less popular with tourists and people, but with renovation and cultural planning, it can become more colorful again.

Azadi Tower, formerly known as Shahyad Tower before the 1979 Revolution, is a 43-meter-tall monument located in Azadi Square, Tehran, Iran. It is considered the main symbol of Tehran. The tower was designed in 1970 (1349 SH) by Iranian architect Hossein Amanat and constructed under the supervision of Mohammad Pourfathi. It was built as a symbol of modern Iran and as a commemoration of the 2,500-year anniversary of the Persian Empire. Strategically placed at the center of one of western Tehran’s major squares—formerly called Shahyad Square, now Azadi Square—it represents national heritage blended with contemporary vision. The architectural style of the tower is a fusion of Achaemenid, Sassanid, and Islamic architecture, making it a unique representation of Iran’s historical and cultural evolution.
Aref Z — Google review
Azadi Tower is one of those landmarks that defines Tehran’s identity. Its futuristic design blended with Persian elements makes it architecturally stunning. Standing beneath it, you feel both small and inspired. The white marble glows under sunlight, and the surrounding square gives a sense of openness rarely found in big cities. There’s a museum beneath the tower that explains its history and construction. At night, the lighting makes it even more mesmerizing. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone arriving in Tehran, symbolizing freedom, pride, and unity. I recommend going during sunset for the best photos.

The Azadi Tower (Persian: برج آزادی, Borj-e Āzādi; "Freedom Tower"), formerly known as the Shahyad Tower (برج شهیاد, Borj-e Šahyād; "Shah's Memorial Tower"), is a monument on Azadi Square in Tehran, Iran. It is one of the landmarks of Tehran, marking the west entrance to the city, and is part of the Azadi Cultural Complex, which also includes an underground museum.The tower is about 45 metres (148 ft) tall and is completely clad in cut marble. It was commissioned by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to mark the 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire and completed in 1971. It also serves as the country's kilometre zero. After winning a competition, architect Hossein Amanat was tasked to design the tower. His ideas were based upon classical and post-classical Iranian architecture, popular influences on art in the 1960s following the White Revolution.

Tehran's Grand Bazaar is very crowded, there are various shops in different sections, specific to a product. For example, to buy gold, you only have to go to the Goldsmiths' Bazaar, and the same goes for other goods. The situation of the metro in the bazaar is very crowded, but the metro is clean. There is a minibus taxi in the center of the bazaar that is used to transport people to and from the market. You can take a ride and go to different parts of the bazaar. The main streets of Tehran's bazaar are not very clean. The surface of the streets is cobblestone, not asphalt. The old and memorable alleys are old Tehran. There are many restaurants and fruit juice shops. Muslim food and Sheikh-ul-Islami are two famous dishes in the Grand Bazaar.

The Grand Bazaar in Tehran is a dynamic monument to Iran's rich history, culture, and economy. One of the world's largest bazaars, it is a maze of meandering passageways, busy shops, and historic architecture that have attracted travelers for centuries. The bazaar was founded during the Safavid era and expanded significantly under the Qajar dynasty. Its evolution mirrored Tehran's own rise, from a modest provincial town to the busy city it is today. The bazaar's elaborate design, with vaulted ceilings, ornate tilework, and fine craftsmanship, exemplifies Iran's rich architectural legacy. A walk through the bazaar is a voyage through time. The perfume of exotic spices, the sparkle of handmade copperware, and the chatter of merchants all contribute to an intense and captivating sensory experience. From gorgeous Persian carpets to complex jewelry, the bazaar has a wide range of products to suit every taste and budget. Historical significance: The market is a living museum that celebrates Iran's rich cultural history. Architectural marvels: Admire the elaborate architecture, which includes vaulted ceilings and beautiful tilework. Offerings are diverse, ranging from ancient Persian carpets to modern handcrafted items. Culinary delights: The bazaar's many tea shops and eateries serve a range of Persian cuisine.

A very nostalgic and traditional Bazar. A great sense of tradition can be smelled in all narrow alleys and corridors. I personally visit there once a year more for its atmosphere rather than shopping
Yasser K — Google review
If you want to feel the heartbeat of Tehran, go straight to the Grand Bazaar. It’s noisy, crowded, and full of life—exactly how a traditional market should be. The smell of spices, the glitter of Persian carpets, and the hum of people bargaining make it a sensory overload in the best way. I spent hours just wandering through the alleys, each section specializing in something—gold, textiles, copperware, and handicrafts. The merchants are friendly and love sharing stories about their products. Don’t forget to stop for some traditional tea or kebab in the old teahouses inside. The Bazaar isn’t just a place to shop; it’s a living museum of Persian culture and commerce that has thrived for centuries.

So vibrant and so many people ! Situated south of Golastine Palace, Tehran Grand Bazaar is indeed grand. I went there once upon a time on Friday when the market was closed (last two photos). It was a ghost town. Following week, I visited there on Saturday and what a transformation! So many people but as the market is massive, I only managed to see one third of market for three hours of my stay. Was in old part of the market with glass, fabric, shoes and carpet section. I needed to buy mocha maker as mine is getting old. Ot normally costs around 25 usd (made in Italy) but got it around 5 usd… from different part of the world! Let’s see…. Anyways as a tourist, it’s nice to see the market full of excitement. Some section is cooler than others as shop’s ac reaches out. But as I visited late morning in the summer months, it was hot. It was also bit difficult to find made in Iran products at least where I was…. Including my mocha pot!

Tabiat Bridge, a 270-meter footbridge connecting Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park in Tehran, is a symbol of the city. Designed by Leila Araghian, it features three levels with cafes and seating areas, offering stunning views of the Shahid Modarres highway and the Alborz Mountains. The bridge's unique design includes space for outdoor activities like jogging and cycling on the second level, while multiple ramps and stairs connect all levels.
This bridge offers an amazing view, making it a perfect spot to observe the Sadar freeway below. The design is outstanding, blending functionality with beauty to create a structure that feels both modern and inviting. The designer truly did a fantastic job, providing a memorable experience for anyone who visits.

The Tabi'at Bridge (The bridge of nature) is the largest pedestrian overpass in Tehran. The 270-metre bridge connects two public parks — Taleghani Park and Abo-Atash Park — by span-ning Modarres Expressway. Tabiat Bridge was designed by Leila Araghian as part of a local competition for the design of a bridge to connect two parks in north Tehran, which were separated by a highway. In designing the bridge, a process which took a total of 4 years, Araghian wanted it to "be a place for people to stay and ponder, not simply pass". To achieve this the bridge is not straight and contains benches and seating. Construction of the bridge started in 2010, using a total of 2000 tonnes of steel, before it was fin-ished in October 2014. The bridge not only connects two parks, but it is also a popular gathering place for the community in its seating areas and restaurants, acting as a place for people to stay, not just pass. Some have described walking on the bridge as feeling like walking through a forest and a place of posi-tive energy where they can come to reenergize when feeling low. Four million people visited the bridge in the first year it was open.

Tabiat Bridge is an absolute gem and one of the most amazing spots in Tehran. The architecture is stunning, with its sleek design and innovative structure that beautifully connects two parks, Taleghani and Abo Atash, over a busy highway. Walking across the bridge, you get breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Alborz mountains in the distance, especially during sunset when the whole scene becomes magical. The bridge itself is not just a walkway but a destination. With multiple levels, it offers plenty of space for strolling, sitting, and enjoying the surroundings. There are cafes and seating areas where you can relax and take in the peaceful ambiance. The integration of nature and modern design is seamless, making it a perfect spot for both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking for a relaxing place to unwind, a scenic viewpoint, or a spot for great photos, Tabiat Bridge is a must-visit. It's more than just a bridge—it's a unique experience that showcases the beauty and modernity of Tehran. Highly recommended!

National Museum of Iran, Tehran 🖼️ Exhibits & Value: From prehistoric to early Islamic eras, the museum offers a rich journey through Iranian civilization—from stone tools of the Paleolithic and Copper Age to Sassanian architecture and Islamic manuscripts. A must-visit for history lovers. Rating: 4/5 🌍 Structure & Route: Spread across two buildings—the Ancient Iran Museum (prehistory to Sassanian) and the Museum of the Islamic Era—visiting both is easy and well worth your time. Rating: 4/5 👌 Atmosphere & Layout: Clean, calm, with intuitive layouts and English signage; well maintained and climate-controlled. Visitors spend 1.5–3 hours here. Rating: 4/5 💰 Cost & Accessibility: The ticket costs around 4 million IRR (~US $7–8), quite reasonable. Metro and bus access are convenient, and brochures are available in English. Rating: 4/5 --- ⭐ Overall Rating: 4 / 5 A compact but captivating cultural gem. If you love archaeology, ancient tools, Bronze Age pots, Sassanian reliefs, or early Qur’anic manuscripts, this is an excellent opportunity to immerse in Persian history—for a friendly price and manageable visit. --- My personal take: I felt the journey from stone-age tools through the splendor of early Islamic artworks was both enlightening and memorable. The museum’s efficient setup lets you wander through two halls at your own pace—though you could easily spend three hours exploring. Worth a full “loop” around both venues. --- 🧭 Quick Visitor Tips Tip Description ⏱️ Time Allocate at least 1.5–2 hours, ideally 2–3 hours 🧭 Access Nearest metro: Emam Khomeini (Line 1); buses also available 📚 Materials English-language brochures and signage available 🕰️ Hours Typically open 9 AM–5 (9–7 in summer); check ahead

The National Museum of Iran in Tehran is a remarkable destination for anyone interested in Iran’s rich cultural and historical heritage. Recently, the museum hosted a temporary exhibition, which added a fresh and engaging perspective to its already vast collection. This temporary exhibit, like others before it, is carefully curated and displayed for a limited time before being returned to the museum’s secure storage, ensuring the preservation of these precious artifacts. Regarding visitor facilities, the museum provides clean and well-maintained toilets across different floors, including accessible options, which contribute to a comfortable visit. There are also safe lockers available, allowing visitors to securely store their belongings and explore the museum with empty hands. This feature is especially convenient and adds to the overall visitor experience, although museum staff may open lockers for security checks if necessary. Photography is allowed inside the museum, but visitors must refrain from using flash to protect the delicate artifacts. This policy strikes a good balance between allowing visitors to capture memories and preserving the integrity of the exhibits. Overall, the National Museum of Iran offers a well-rounded experience with its impressive collections, including both permanent and temporary exhibitions, and thoughtful visitor amenities such as clean toilets and secure lockers. These features make it easy and enjoyable to spend several hours exploring the museum’s treasures without worry. The ticket price for Iranian visitors to the National Museum of Iran in Tehran is 500,000 and for foreign visitors approximately 4,000,000 Iranian Rials, which is about 7 USD as of 2025. This price reflects a recent increase, having risen significantly in recent months from lower rates around 1,000,000 Rials (about 2 USD). Some sources mention slightly different figures such as 300,000 Rials, but the most consistent and updated information points to the 4,000,000 Rials rate for international tourists. Discounted rates may be available for large groups such as school or tour groups. The museum is open daily, generally from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in spring and summer, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in autumn and winter. In summary, expect to pay around 7 USD for a ticket as a foreign visitor, with possible group discounts, and plan your visit during the regular opening hours for the best experience.

The National Museum of Iran: A Gateway to Persian Heritage. The National Museum of Iran, located in Tehran, is the country’s most important ar-chaeological and historical institution. Established in 1937, the museum is divided into two main sections: the Museum of Ancient Iran and the Museum of the Islamic Era. Together, they offer a comprehensive narrative of Iranian civilization from prehistoric times to the modern period. The Museum of Ancient Iran, designed by French architect André Godard, houses arti-facts from prehistoric settlements, Elamite cities, and major Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanid sites. Highlights include clay tablets from Persepolis, statues from Shush (Su-sa), and intricately carved reliefs, offering insight into the early development of writing, religion, and empire in Iran. The Museum of the Islamic Era, opened in 1996, presents the rich artistic and cultural legacy of Iran after the advent of Islam, illustrating Iran’s central role in Islamic art and scholarship. Notably, the museum also displays important evidence of Hellenistic presence in Iran, especially during the Seleucid period. Among its key Greek-language inscriptions is the Letter of Menedemus and the Prostagma of Antiochus III—documents that shed light on administrative practices, royal cult, and cultural exchanges between the Greek and Iranian worlds during the 3rd century BCE.

Visited the National Museum of Iran on a quiet weekday and really enjoyed the calm, well–lit galleries. The warm spotlights make the details on the stone carvings stand out beautifully, and there’s a faint old–stone scent as you walk through the main hall. Noticed they’ve slightly rearranged the sculpture section since my last visit, which makes the walking route smoother. If you want to see everything without crowds, mornings are your best bet — afternoons can get a bit busier.

The Niavaran Palace Complex blends royal elegance with peaceful gardens. Walking up the stone path to the main building, you notice the tall white columns and intricate brickwork that give the place its grand yet familiar character. Inside, each hall feels frozen in time — from the ornate chandeliers to the patterned carpets. The surrounding lawns are well-kept and perfect for a slow stroll, but in summer they can get crowded with tour groups. Mornings are quieter and better for photos.

The courtyard isn’t very large, but inside the palace complex you can see various antiques, clothing, and gifts from other countries, which give you a good sense of the lifestyle of the Pahlavi royal family. Niavaran Palace is located in a pleasant and cool area in the north of Tehran, making the visit even more enjoyable.

The highlights of the collection include the Sea of Light Diamond, the world's largest pink diamonds, the Crown of Kiani, Nadir's Throne, and many more exquisite pieces. This cultural gem offers visitors a glimpse into Iran's rich history through its stunning jewels and treasures.
Amazing sight to see if you're doing a tour of Tehran. One of the most extraordinary collections of Jewels in the world with significant historical value. Parking is basically non existent. The whole facility is top security controlled and multiple check points and you need to turn in your personal belongings including your phone and watches so don't take anything unnecessary. The tour is guided only and takes about 1 hour total and photography is not allowed but totally worth it.

Closed for months! We looked up the opening hours on the website beforehand and found ourselves in front of a closed museum. According to the security staff, the museum has been closed for months and the opening hours are not updated.

I arrived at 1245 hrs for the opening at 1300 hrs and there were already around 30 people waiting at the entrance. I went on Saturday so maybe that is why but be ready to be in the queue! No bags and phones are allowed as cited by many ( you can leave inside the bank before going to the safe: they will give you a key so I suppose it is very safe), and two security checks (after you pay for the ticket and after you enter secure room) after, you will be grouped and usher by the guide. At any time, you are not left alone. Excellent English speaking guide was taking us around but certainly there are many people in confined place so be prepared to be a bit warm inside. You cannot touch display windows or you would be told off! But that’s understandable as there are so many of jewels! It’s only one floor which is divided three sections but basically one big room ( bank safe). No doubt amazing and beautiful jewels and so many of them. To be honest, after seeing first three displays (a Globe with diamond ruby and emerald), I just had a funny feeling of not being amazed anymore by the amount of diamonds and emerald in each jewelry. Basically there are too many precious stones in the safe of the Central Bank, after few minutes I stared not to appreciate all amazing jewels. Scale, volume and numbers of gemstones in each display was is like thousands in each pieces, far more than my brain can take. Still amazing really : for my simple life, it was just too many. Anyways it is an experience and if you have a time, it is a nice reminder of the wealth as well as skilled art of jewelry Iran possess. I kept thinking being a king is not easy if you have to wear all those beautiful but precious jewelry in every occasions!

Chitgar Park is a large and pleasant forest park in western Tehran. Its green space is vast and full of tall and sturdy trees. Its walking and cycling paths are also very pleasant and suitable for an afternoon stroll. However, because it is so large, it can sometimes be difficult to find a quiet and peaceful place. Its recreational facilities are also diverse, from playgrounds for children to cycling tracks and hiking trails. If you are looking for a large forest park with plenty of recreational facilities, Chitgar is a good choice. But if you are looking for a cozy and peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, other places may be more suitable for you.

There is no entrance fee and it is free. It has an attractive and natural environment. Families come here for fun and to be together. It is very crowded on holidays and weekends on Thursdays and Fridays. It has relatively clean toilets and bathrooms. The Chitgar environment is interesting. It is next to the artificial Chitgar Lake and Iranmal. It is in the westernmost point of Tehran. The Chingar Forest is very large and you can use it anywhere and enjoy it. There is a lot of parking space and the weather is good in spring and autumn. In summer, it is full of insects and it gets hot and humid because of the proximity to Chitgar Lake. Overall, I recommend that you try it if you haven't been there.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the most memorable evening with my family at Ferdows Garden (Bagh-e Ferdows), a stunning historical site in the north of Iran, dating back to the Qajar Dynasty. The atmosphere was simply magical and something I'll never forget. The beauty of the house, now used as a cinema museum, added to the charm, making it an interesting spot for history lovers. What made the experience even more special was the vibrant surroundings. The garden was alive with people enjoying themselves, and we were serenaded by musicians playing traditional instruments. The lively environment made our visit truly unforgettable. We enjoyed a relaxing cup of tea while soaking in the culture and energy of the place. If you're in the area, I highly recommend visiting Ferdows Garden – it’s perfect for a family outing or a peaceful solo visit! The mix of history, culture, and natural beauty is unmatched.

The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art is a modernist underground museum housing an important collection of modern and contemporary artwork. It offers a unique opportunity to explore avant-garde Persian and Western artists' perspectives on life. This museum stands as a testament to the late queen's efforts to promote Persian cultural aspects, showcasing numerous masterpieces, including a statue of the Queen herself.
This museum stands at the top of the list of the museums to visit while you are in Tehran. Built in 1977 by royal decree to house the collection of contemporary arts in Iran, the museum is a beautiful architectural masterpiece. The exhibitions change from time to time, and, unfortunately, there are no permanent galleries other than the artworks in the open area. When I visited in April 2025, a collection of works by Picasso was on display, and a very thorough work had been done to portray his artwork and the incidents of his life. It is said that this museum has an incredible collection in its warehouse which, unfortunately, has been out of the sight of the public for a very long time.

One of the greatest hidden treasures of modern art in Asia and the Middle East. The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art holds one of the most extraordinary and valuable collections of modern and contemporary art in Asia and the Middle East — on a level that rivals top institutions in Russia and Japan. Surprisingly, many people outside the region have no idea that such a collection exists beyond Europe and North America. But it does — and it’s magnificent. The museum owns original masterpieces by some of the most iconic names in art history, including: Vincent van Gogh Salvador Dalí Pablo Picasso Jackson Pollock Andy Warhol Francis Bacon Mark Rothko Marcel Duchamp Alberto Giacometti René Magritte Willem de Kooning Roy Lichtenstein Max Ernst Paul Gauguin Edvard Munch As well as Iranians like Mohammad Ghaffari, Parviz Tanavoli, Gregorian and more. The museum itself — designed by Kamran Diba — is an architectural gem, blending modernist elements with Persian aesthetics. It’s not just a museum, it’s a cultural revelation, and an absolute must-visit when the permanent collection is on display. This is truly one of Iran’s greatest artistic assets, and a point of pride for the entire region.

This is a popular park and quite different from other parks in Tehran. It's big and it's easy to get there. There are plenty of parking spaces in the streets that face the park and the bus stop is near the main entrance. The inside of the park is similar to a botanical garden. There is a small zoo and a lake. There are separate areas for badminton, ping pong and volleyball. There are also walkways for those who prefer to walk. There are plenty of statues outside the park along the street, and inside the park. It is really a place worth to visit if you are in Tehran.

I should say I have piles of photos from the park which have been accumulated from many visits during different seasons of the years! Should I visit there?! This is the most popular Park inTehran! If you are a tourist or just not from Tehran, I recommend you to visit the park if you have enough time! There is nothing very especial there but it has a pleasant atmosphere which copes with different people! The Synthetic Lake: The lake is located in the northern and central portion of the park, there is a restaurant and a fastfood close to the lake atmosphere as well as a pedestrain bridge above the lake Mellat Cinema Complex: There is a facility in western corner of the Park called "Mellat Cineple" or "Mellat Cinema Complex" which is one of the best equiped Cinema Complex in Iran. There are however, very few cinema complex with nice vocal equipment in Tehran. Photography: It is a nice place to take photos; you may find photographers taking shots there, a very familiar scene! Sidewalk: There is a nice sidewalk align with Valiasr Street which equiped with artworks. There are some unique artworks for especial moments of the year in the sidewalk for example artworks of Nowruz at Mellat Park sidewalk (outer canvas) Access: Please consider there isn't enough parking space around the park, so manage your trip there beforehand. The park has a good access from Vanak Square by bus. So you may use BRT buses from vanak sq. up to the park gate. That would be several station (bus stop) above vanak square. When you have finished at the park you may travel up to the Parkvey junction and then continue to reach Tajrish sq. Or you may go down the park to reach vanak square where you can find taxi or bus to every spot of Tehran.

One of the best park in tehran with different kind of facilities. Its cool place all the year but these pic from autumn shows how amazing is the park in fall. Parking is little bit issue in the area. There is small public parking in the south but thats so small for such a huge park.
Arash D — Google review
Bostan mellat is one of the oldest and largest parks in Tehran, with all kinds of facilities, including sports and entertainment. If you want to walk in a cozy and relaxed place, if you are looking for a good place to exercise, if you want a decent place to record beautiful and artistic pictures, or even if you want to go with a family to a day out picnic, go to this park. The entrance to the Tehran Mellat Park is a new form of time, depending on the weather and calendar. If you come to the park at the end of Nowruz, you will probably see the magnificent sculptures on the eve of the EYD and the Haftesin journey. the artificial lake, runs its quietest days in winter. At the corners of the lake, you will see small boats that are finally docked and have a beautiful view. This part of the garden, besides being awakened by calmness, has a good view of photography.

The Cinema Museum of Iran, located in the Ferdows Garden in Tehran, is housed in a 19th-century building and showcases the history of Iranian cinema. Despite challenges such as tasteless early films and post-revolution propaganda, the museum highlights important figures like Masoud Kimiaei and Abbas Kiarostami who have contributed to Iranian cinema as an art form. The museum offers insight into the evolution of Iranian cinema and its cultural significance.
A historical and valuable place full of beautiful memories. An ideal place for tourist tourism. It has a museum, cafe, cinema, restaurant and a green and pleasant environment to spend leisure time. Iran Cinema Museum is one of the museums of Tehran Province. In this treasure, photos, documents, and old cinema equipment of movie characters such as stuntmen and filmmakers, as well as behind the scenes of big movies, posters and other things related to cinema are displayed. This museum includes 9 permanent exhibitions.

I love going to cinema but have not done so yet in Iran. For instance, I did not know 18August 1900 was the arrival of the cinema in Iran. Also this museum explain why it is situated in flower garden. I loved few features of this museum including selection of Iranian film of which you can select and see trailer and read about the movie. I also like interactive screen which also take your photos if you command. Posted both features in the photos. I spend about 30 minutes but I suppose if I were fluent in Farsi, I would have spend much longer to check out film guides !
Yumiko — Google review
This place was a film and screenwriting institute. But it’s been some years since that became Cinema Museum. There are lots of valuable and exciting documents, photos and tools that you can see here. If you are interested in the film and movie industry of Iran, definitely visit this museum!
Nafise A — Google review
The mansion at the center of ferdows garden is the museum of cinema of Iran. Here you will get to know the history of the Iranian cinema, from its beginning days in late 19th century to the current era. The museum is in three floors, each focusing on one particular period. The architecture of the building and wall carvings are eye-pleasingly beautiful.

Majid majidi's Children of Heaven is the first non language film i have seen in my life. Funny to say, like most others i became an avid follower of Iranian films. On my first visit to iran, i ventured into the film history of Iran through the film museum nestled in the valiasr street. Different era of film making are well displayed inside with recreation of some film sets and behind the scene post production works. A must see visit place for movie lovers if you are in Tehran.

A wonderful place. Here you can have a trip 100 years, back to Iran's culture and art time. You can see here the real and powerful Persian culture. I love Iran and I love Iran culture. If you want to have a trip like me then come to the cinema museum of Iran. Here is the facility for drinking and here is a park to enjoy more and more. Photography is allowed here. You can take pictures and enjoy yourself. There is a cinema here too. You can watch movies. At the entrance gate of the cinema museum of Iran, you should pay some money to take the ticket. Cinema Tamadan is also needed tickets. But enjoying in the park is free. Best of luck Iran is the empire of culture and art.

Ab-o Atash Park, meaning "water and fire," is a popular and modern park located in the heart of the city. It features choreographed water and fire shows, an amphitheater for performances, and a panoramic bridge with a cafe. The park's attractions include four fire towers that shoot flames into the sky, water elements for kids to play in, an amphitheater for various performances, eateries and coffee shops, badminton courts, and a carriage ride.
This is the most amazing and fantastic park for day and night. Who created this park to make a difference? I have had my undivided attention on the activities of the ordinary Iranian people in Tehran. They're mostly peaceful, there's only so much love to go around in Tehran.

The largest planetarium un Iran. I always enjoy the show in Gonbad Mina planetarium, where you can learn about space and astronomy in the city. Ahmad Karimi is the best astronomy teacher you can find in the complex.

Water and fire fountains, amphitheater, hiking trails and bicycling are from the many spectacular views of the park. water fountains, skate track, cycling track and children's playground are the best places to play for children and young people.The nature bridge, the third symbol of the capital, is passing through and shooting on Tehran's unremitting attractions. The beautiful and colorful lighting of the nature bridge from Tehran and its highways adds to the charm of the bridge.

A great park with amenities.There are plenty of restaurants.Playground and skate track are available for children and adults.

Saadabad Cultural and Historical Complex is a sprawling 110-hectare area in the north of Tehran, nestled at the base of Mount Tochal. Once home to Mohammad-Reza Shah and his royal family, it now houses several museums within former palaces.
It's one of the best places to dive into Iran's recent history. You can see many aspects of Iran's recent history. You can visit the Green and White Palace and other fantastic buildings, or you can walk through the wonderful gardens and old trees.

A beautiful historical palace with stunning architecture and lush gardens. The museums inside are interesting, especially the Green Palace with its amazing mirror work. A peaceful place to explore, but some areas need better maintenance.
Fafa S — Google review
The Sa'dabad Palace, with all its grandeur and elegance, didn’t feel like just a museum to me. It felt like a quiet, haunting reminder of days long gone, and the tragic fate of those who once called this place home. The moment you step inside, you're not just observing history, you're feeling it. Every piece of furniture, every ornate detail, seems to softly whisper stories from a time that's vanished, gently pulling you into a world that no longer exists. The towering ceilings, the breathtaking mirror halls, the priceless hand-woven carpets, all once witnesses to a life of unimaginable luxury, now lie in a stillness that almost aches. Room after room feels like a snapshot of a life paused mid-breath, a life that ended too suddenly. There’s a beauty here, yes, but it’s the kind that carries a quiet sadness. A kind of beauty that makes you reflect on how nothing, not even royalty, escapes the passage of time. Visiting the Sa'dabad Palace isn’t just about admiring its beauty or learning about history, it’s about sensing the bittersweet rhythm of endings, and the fragility of everything we think will last forever. If your heart is open to the weight of the past and the emotions it carries, this palace has so many silent stories to share.

Visiting the Sa’dabad Palace Complex is an unforgettable experience that beautifully combines history, architecture, art, and nature. Nestled in the foothills of the Alborz Mountains in northern Tehran, this historic complex is a true gem of the city. The fresh mountain air, the sound of running water, and the sight of tall, ancient trees make walking through the grounds feel like stepping into a peaceful forest steeped in history. Gardens and Natural Setting One of the most striking features of Sa’dabad is its vast green space. The cobblestone paths lined with old trees create a serene atmosphere, perfect for leisurely walks. In spring and summer, the gardens are lush and vibrant, while in autumn, the golden and red leaves turn the palace grounds into a breathtaking landscape. Unlike many historic sites, here you can easily spend hours simply strolling through the gardens and enjoying the tranquil environment. Palaces and Museums The complex is home to several palaces and museums, each with its own unique charm. Highlights include the White Palace (Mellat Palace), famous for its luxurious décor from the Pahlavi era, and the Green Palace, with its elegant and more historic interior. There are also various museums, such as the Water Museum, Royal Dishes Museum, Calligraphy and Miniature Museum, and the Farah Diba Museum. Each section offers a glimpse into Iran’s royal past and cultural heritage. Art, Décor, and Historical Details Inside the palaces, you’ll find yourself surrounded by exquisite details: handwoven Persian carpets, European-style furniture, chandeliers, mirrors, paintings, and ornate plasterwork. Walking through the halls feels like entering a time capsule that preserves the elegance and lifestyle of Iran’s royal family in the 20th century. Practical Tips • Ticket prices differ for local and foreign visitors. • The complex is very large — plan at least 2–3 hours for a full visit. • Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and consider a hat or sunscreen in warmer seasons. • English and Persian guides are available in some sections. • Photography is allowed in most areas, but certain halls may have restrictions. Location and Access The Sa’dabad Complex is located in the Darband area of northern Tehran, close to Tajrish Square. The easiest way to reach it is by metro to Tajrish Station, followed by a short taxi ride or a pleasant walk to the entrance. The surrounding area is full of charming cafés and local shops, adding a lively atmosphere to your visit. Overall, Sa’dabad Palace Complex is not just a historical site — it’s a full experience of Iranian culture, royal heritage, and natural beauty. Whether you’re a tourist or a local resident, visiting this magnificent complex is absolutely worth your time.

The most beautiful place in autumn in Tehran! What an atmosphere it has! It's your best option when you want to enjoy the eye-catching colors of autumn. It's the best feeling when you walk around this complex and enjoy the environment. Also a great opportunity for photography. All the palaces and museums are beautiful and you have to visit them all so you don't miss anything. I recommend you to go among the trees which doesn't have a road. It's much queiter and more peaceful. It's a good feeling when you think someday the King of Iran used to be in this great complex. It doesn't get crowded at weekends but it's better to visit in the morning. You can also visit here in spring which is also nice but autumn is my favorite season 😊
Vahid T — Google review
The palace is filled with buildings, libraries, and independent kitchens, each of which can be entered and explored, with beautiful green spaces adorned with tall trees and the sound of parrots flying above them. The excellent weather, coupled with Tehran's strategic location, has transformed it into an extraordinary place. If you visit Tehran, be sure to stop by here.

Jamshidiyeh Park, also known as Stone Garden, is a former private garden turned into a picturesque park located at the northernmost point of Tehran near the Alborz mountain range. The park offers a serene escape from the city with its clean and mountainous weather, making it popular for hiking and picnics. With its steep climb up the mountainside, it provides stunning views of Tehran and boasts local flora and fauna that make for perfect Instagram photos.

This sprawling urban park offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. There are well-maintained walking and jogging trails, playgrounds for children, and several seating areas for relaxation. In case you arrive on sun rise, you will find this place a perfect place to meditate.

A sizable park in northern Tehran offers a refreshing respite from the city's pollution. However, due to its immense popularity, particularly during holidays, parking can be challenging. Public transportation is the recommended mode of access. The ascent to the summit takes approximately 40 minutes, rewarding visitors with panoramic views of Tehran and its environs.
Mr. M — Google review
A lovely park, with a great weather and also a good spot for camping and climbing. Just the number of dogs in the park are a bit annoying but totally it's a nice park. Feel free to ask me your questions about this place.
Mohammad C — Google review
The park is nice and beautiful. It is difficult to find a parking space by car. There is a parking lot at the end of the street, and the entrance is charged based on the hours you were in the park. It has a space with chairs, a few gazebos, but there are platforms to sit on throughout the park. It is difficult to find toilets and sanitary facilities in the park. It has a green and attractive space. The entire park is divided into several sections, and each section of the park is separate and you can visit it. The park is on a slope and is not a good place for running or playing games like badminton.

Jamshidieh Park in Tehran is a beautiful natural escape that offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors amid the bustling city. Nestled at the foot of the Alborz Mountains, the park is known for its lush greenery, charming pathways, and stunning views of the city and surrounding landscapes. However, it is worth noting that the park has seen better days in terms of maintenance. Some areas appear to be in need of attention, with litter occasionally detracting from the natural beauty. Despite this, the park still retains its charm and remains a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. One of the unique aspects of Jamshidieh Park is its series of stairs that lead all the way to the top. If you're up for the challenge, starting from the very bottom and walking up all the stairs could take you about an hour. It's a rewarding climb that offers a great workout and culminates in breathtaking views. Overall, Jamshidieh Park is a worthwhile visit for those looking to connect with nature and enjoy a bit of hiking within Tehran. While the maintenance issues may detract slightly from the experience, the park's natural beauty and the invigorating climb make it a memorable destination.

The premises was established as a private garden by the Qajar prince and engineer Jamshid Davallu Qajar during the Pahlavi era. The Stone Garden became a public park in 1977, it was reconstructed and expanded with the addition of Ferdowsi garden in 1995. You can enjoy taking pictures in Fall Season 😉

I truly enjoy visiting this cozy neighborhood park. It serves as a beautiful and peaceful escape from the nearby traffic noise. While it's smaller, it’s always clean and feels very safe, even in the late afternoons. The benches are comfortable and strategically placed for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. It’s a great spot for local residents to gather and for children to play briefly. The planting of colorful flowers and well-cared-for trees adds a lovely touch to the atmosphere. It would be helpful if they increased the number of recycling bins, but the overall calm environment is its biggest asset. A real gem for the local community.

Amazing, one of my most fav park in Tehran. Which is located down hill of mountain. Its also called stone park as there are lots of sculptures and all the park surrounded by stone. The only thing u need to take care before going there is slippery road specially an rainy days.
