The 48 best places to go out in Tehran

Tabiat Bridge is one of the most beautiful bridges with the best architecture. It is very secluded. Both sides of the bridge are green spaces and full of eatables, restaurants, cafes, and playground equipment. It is truly unique. Walking is a great and enjoyable way to go A recreational place that is beautiful under my feet.

Quiet place for walking Lovers. It has an enormous view all over Tehran.

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.

A great place to walk, enjoy good food or drinks, and spend quality time with friends and loved ones—especially in the evening or at night during summer, when it’s a bit cooler

Its my five star spot . I love standing there and watching the highway . Very nice view . The location itself is very nice but about the facilities and cafes there, if you check them nowadays they are in a very poor condition which is so sad!

Well-designed bridge 👌👌 This bridge connects 2 parks (Taleghani and Ab va Atash) %100 Worth visiting

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!

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.

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.

Tallest tower in iran and 6th tallest telecommunication tower in the world, Tehran overviews and museum of Famous Iranian people and poets on top of this tower 👌

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.

Beautiful place masterpiece in entire Middle East

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.

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.

Golestan Palace is truly the crown jewel of Tehran’s history. The moment you step inside, the mix of Persian and European architecture takes your breath away. The mirror work in the main hall, the intricate tile patterns, and the royal gardens feel like a time capsule from the Qajar era. It’s hard to believe such elegance exists right in the heart of a bustling city. The museum inside gives deep insight into Iran’s royal history—photographs, gifts from foreign dignitaries, and royal thrones are beautifully preserved. The calmness of the garden contrasts with the chaos outside, making it a perfect retreat for anyone who loves art and culture. I’d suggest visiting early in the morning when the light hits the tiles just right for photographs. Overall, Golestan Palace is not just a place—it’s an emotion, a reminder of Iran’s rich artistic soul and refined taste.

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

Beautiful architecture but every place is too simple and it has silly paintings. The fountains were off and the they charged us for tickets for closed places.

If you travel to Tehran, you must see here. Beautiful and unique. Its surroundings are full of sights and old restaurants. It takes a whole day. It is easily accessible and public transportation is very close to it

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.

Didn't visit in person, however, wouldn't anytime soon. 🇺🇲💪🏻 About to remind Iran they WILL NOT have a nuke ... And to all my fellow Republicans, do NOT let this separate us.

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.

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.

One of the greatest monuments of the capital Tehran

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.

One of the oldest Bazaar in Tehran ! You can find anything here … Foods Clothes Shoes …. Tajrish is a neighbourhood of Tehran, capital of Iran. Administratively it is in Shemiranat County, Tehran province and serves as the capital of the county.At one time a village, it was later absorbed into the city of Tehran.

Here is my favourite bazar since my childhood. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommended😍you can find whatevere u need there.

Historical Tajrish bazaar is a popular bazaar located in the northern part of Tehran, Iran. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse range of goods, including fresh produce, spices, handicrafts, and clothing. The bazaar is a bustling hub of activity, with numerous shops and stalls offering a wide variety of products. In addition to shopping, visitors can also enjoy traditional Iranian cuisine at the market's many restaurants and food vendors. Tajrish Market is a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic taste of Tehran's culture and commerce.

If you visit Tehran you must visit this old and traditional bazaar (market) in north Tehran, which is always busy with shoppers especially for fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also hundreds of shops selling traditional Iranian products, from cutlery to clothes to pieces of hand made arts and spices. I prefer this old traditional market to many modern shopping centers sprouting all over Tehran

Everything for your house is here. As a tourist, this place is the best stop before packing and fly home. 🫰

One of the mist loveliest places to visit in Tehran. You can find variety of fruits, sweets, literally everything. Its so lively and crowded makes you love Tehran even more.

Tajrish Bazaar. A combination of color, energy, and enthusiasm.

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. Who knows what the regime intends to do with the breathtaking, unique treasures and valuable part of Persian culture. Definitely not in the interests of the people.

The registered phone number is not answered; it is constantly busy. Although it is stated that the museum is wheelchair accessible, this is not the case. We visited in the heat, struggled to find any signs of the museum, and eventually discovered that it is located in the basement, making it inaccessible with a wheelchair. by the way, the museum is located in the Central Bank building. دسترسی با ویلچر وجود ندارد.

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!

Its the most impressive museum in our country.It is located in the building of Iran Central Bank in the Treasury.Musume is open from Saturday to Wednsday from 14 p.m to 16:30 p.m. There are a lot of jewelry inside and they do not let you to take pictures. I recommond you to visit this museum.

If you're into jewels and history, this place is incredible. You have to visit! But before you go, watch your STYLE! I wore ripped jeans, and one of the women working there gave me a couple of pins to close the open parts! The atmosphere is very strict due to the valuable jewels, and unfortunately, they can be quite rude to women. Entrance time 13:00,15:00 Sat,Mon,Tue

The Iranian national jewelry collection in terms of the value of historical artistic and unique is in such a situation that even the most eager experts and assessors in the world have not been able to calculate its real or approximate value.

This place has been closed for the past few years, please do not waste your valuable time. Visit other museums and great attraction in the city. Regards

A large and excellent market for a lot of shopping that has a lot of variety and you can do your favorite shopping. A large and comfortable, cool space with space to sit and a space to eat delicious food. Each floor is divided into its own specific and related categories.

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.

Tehran Grand Bazaar located in Central Tehran, Iran. Split into several corridors that are over 10 kilometres in length, each specializing in different types of goods, the bazaar has several entrances, with Sabze Meydan being the main entrance. In addition to shops, it contains mosques, guest houses, and banks

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

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!

Tehran's Rooftop, also known as Tochal Summit, is one of Tehran's most popular and distinctive recreational spots. Its lofty height allows for stunning panoramic vistas of the expanding metropolis beneath it. This urban sanctuary, located at the end of Velanjak Street and tucked in the foothills of the Tochal Mountains, offers a pleasant reprieve from the city's hustle and bustle. Panoramic Views: The rooftop provides breathtaking 360-degree views of Tehran, allowing visitors to enjoy the city's great breadth and surrounding mountains. Fresh Air: The greater altitude provides cleaner and cooler air than the city center, giving a welcome respite from the metropolitan heat and pollution. Hiking paths: Several hiking paths weave through the region, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to stretch their legs while enjoying nature. Recreational Facilities: The rooftop offers a range of services, including restaurants, cafés, stores, and thrilling recreational activities like bungee jumping, zip-lining, and tobogganing. Access to Tochal Resort: Tehran's Rooftop is part of the larger Tochal Resort, which includes a cable car, ski slopes, and hotel.

Tehran roof, which is located at the end of Salamat Tochal road, is one of the best roofs in Tehran, which has recreational facilities such as bungee jumping, zip line, cable car, restaurant, coffee shop, etc., this roof view is very beautiful. and it is very suitable for relaxing and chilling, this roof can be accessed from 3 roads, the first one is from Salamat Tochal road, the end of Sasan Park, and the third road which is not very well known is from Valanjake itself, in general this roof is for relaxing It is suitable for solitude as well as family fun, and it is also suitable for children

Very good price Very good breakfast Staff so helpful Clean and quiet.. many parking.. The bathroom only need to be cleaner ..

Bame Tehran is a popular place in Iran among tourists and locals.

If there is only one place in Iran, Tehran here I could find solace and tranquility, day or night, it was this place which is locally known as “Bām”. About 500 meters above Tehran which itself is 1200m above the sea level, this mountain resort is the most accessible refuge to escape the pervasive smog that usually devours the city all year round. The higher you go, the clearer the air and more scenic the views will be.

Great place to see the Tehran skyline, far from the city noise and pollution. Lots of beautiful young people.

Great Scenery of Tehran from the domain of mountains. A lot of food choices and activities are found here with a cool vibe.

It has about a 5Km walkway around an artificial lake that you can go for running, walking and riding bicycles,etc. It's also a good place for bird watching, if security guards allow you to take pictures of them.

The atmosphere is very attractive and unique, the quality of the lake boats is good, the price is reasonable, the space around the lake is beautiful, you can run around the lake and enjoy it, there is a good parking space but the walk from the main street to the school is a bit long, there are bicycles you can rent for an hour and use them, the shops around Chitgar Lake are suitable for buying snacks and have good prices, the cafes and restaurants around Chitgar Lake are good quality. They face upwards and are a very good place for studying and business or family friendly meetings, the toilets and bathrooms are relatively clean, I recommend you to visit and use the facilities of Chitgar Lake.

Very beautiful place. Great view. Nice place to ride a bike. Good restaurants and cafes to rest. Amazing view of the sunset, it's just magical. You can have a great day of shopping, riding a bike, enjoying an amusement park, relaxing in a cafe, and then watching the sunset in peace.

Chitgar lake (Persian Gulf Lake) is an artificial lake with so many recreational facilities around it, shopping malls, amusement park, children playgrounds, walking path around the lake, coffeeshops, restaurants, food courts, green areas, fishing facilities, etc. it's very good place for having fun with friends, dates, pet walking, children, birthdays, relaxation, taking photos, and other activities. Swimming in the lake is not allowed and actually it's not a clean water.

Chitgar Lake, or the Lake of the Persian Gulf Martyrs, is Iran’s largest artificial lake. It is the ideal place for cycling, hiking, picnics, memorable walks, and romantic dates. Moreover, recreation and excursions in Chitgar Lake are available throughout the year. During the hustle and bustle of urban life, in addition to traveling to northern cities, which costs a lot of time and money, the capitalists can travel to the Lake of Chitgar in a short time and enjoy the beauty of nature. The tourist complex, located west of Tehran and surrounded by towers, evokes a sense of being in one of the coastal cities when tourists are there because a cool breeze blows from the lake. I was there since 2019 on bike Lahore Pakistan to Tehran Iran... 00923152600334

Nice place to have a daily walk or cycling or bird watching. Can buy your needs & clothing from brands in Bamland shopping center. Funfair for kids & adults. So many coffee shops & restaurants to celebrate a night out. Plenty of Parking lots. Usually crowded at the weekends & Summer.

A very, very nice lake with amazing views. Very nice park besides and very nice views of mountains behind the lake, and also there will be a new residential complexes and projects thar will benefit such an amazing place.

I’m in love with the beautiful architecture of the Carpet Museum, and I could kiss Kamran Diba’s hands for designing it! The exterior space, with its repetitive columns, felt like the warp and weft of a carpet. As someone without much background in carpets, seeing the differences in motifs and colors from various regions of Iran was incredibly fascinating to me. The entrance area of the museum felt a bit confusing—I didn’t know where to go. It seemed that after the revolution, during the Pahlavi era, the museum officials had arranged the carpets and graphic signs in a poorly thought-out way, which made it difficult to understand the navigation. That said, the museum guides were very active and helpful, always ready to provide thorough explanations if asked. It was also the first museum I’ve ever seen with huge billboard advertisements from a jewelry brand, which struck me as odd for a government-run museum. The carpets were categorized based on different regions of Iran and were mostly from the Qajar and Pahlavi periods. Around 2,500 carpets are preserved in this museum, and the oldest one dates back about 500 years!

It’s a big and beautiful museum with magnificent carpets. The entrance fee is very cheap, and they also have guides who give you explanations about each carpet.

Great collection of carpets from different regions of Iran. They are woven mostly in Qajar Era, but you can find many carpets from Safavid, Pahlavi, and other times as well. We could find one or two tour leaders who had great information. We visited this place on Nowruz, and it was not that crowded, which was a pity. Taking the fact that it was the Picasso exhibition in the museum of Contemporary Art of Tehran near the Carpet Meuseum, I expected the museum would be more crowded. Maybe some advertisements or incentives are needed to bring people and tourists to see these fine collections of Iranian and persian art, which shows their high culture. What was also surprising is the second floor, exhibiting some great paintings for two contemporary artists who had different styles. Although I couldn't understand why they were keeping in the Carpet Museum, I liked them a lot. We could find a couple of photos taken by great director Abbas Kiarostami as well. All together we had a great time in this place, highly recommended and don't forget to buy some souvenirs from the gift shop.

Hidden at the threshold of Tehran’s bustling urban fabric, the Carpet Museum of Iran stands as a silent guardian of centuries-old artistry. The moment one approaches its unique modernist façade — designed with motifs reminiscent of a grand carpet loom — it becomes apparent that this edifice is not merely a museum but a poetic homage to the craft it shelters. Within its tranquil halls, the visitor is transported to a world where threads become tales and patterns evolve into entire civilizations. Each carpet on display is not just a woven object, but a historical manuscript — whispering stories of royal courts, remote villages, forgotten nomadic tribes, and the skilled hands that spent months, sometimes years, to conjure a masterpiece. The permanent exhibition on the ground floor displays an exquisite array of Persian carpets from various regions: the floral elegance of Isfahan, the bold tribal geometry of Qashqai, the intricate symmetry of Tabriz, and the deep, regal tones of Kerman. One cannot help but marvel at the precision of each knot, the harmonious balance of colours, and the hidden symbolism woven into every motif. The upper floor frequently hosts temporary exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events, offering a dynamic experience for returning visitors. What truly elevates this museum beyond mere aesthetic pleasure is the almost sacred silence that envelops you inside — a silence that allows you to contemplate the profound legacy of Persian weaving, uninterrupted by the chaos of the modern world outside. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable, happy to answer questions with genuine enthusiasm. The museum is not excessively large, making it ideal for a contemplative one- to two-hour visit. A small but charming library and souvenir shop near the exit offer books and prints for those who wish to carry a piece of this cultural splendour home. Whether you are an art historian, a cultural traveller, or simply someone in search of beauty, the Carpet Museum of Iran is a destination that quietly lingers in the mind long after one leaves, like the fading echo of a beautiful poem. Highly recommended for those who wish to witness the soul of Persian culture woven, knot by knot, into eternal works of art.

Stunning carpets. No information on labels and everything is old and not renewed since Farah.

We visited the Carpet Museum of Iran this past weekend. It's not very big, not very well maintained and there's very little info about each individual carpet, but most of them are stunning works if art. If you got an hour or so to spare in downtown Tehran it's worth the visit.

Among top Tehran museums, but needs to find more eloborated ways of showing beatiful carpets and connection with Iranian culture and traditions. Now it looks good but a bit abandoned

What a treat in the middle of Tehran, a meausem with eyes wide open to the 20th century modern art. Building itself is an architectural masterpiece and every exhibition worths to visit.

I recently visited the Museum of Contemporary Art and had a truly memorable experience. The highlight for me was seeing original works by Picasso — absolutely fascinating and full of energy. The building itself is architecturally stunning and quite unique, which adds so much to the overall atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the visit. Just keep in mind that food and drinks aren’t allowed inside, which is totally understandable for preserving the artworks. Highly recommend for art lovers and curious minds alike!

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.

A Must-Visit for Art Lovers: Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art If you’re passionate about art, history, and culture, the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art (TMoCA) is an absolute must-visit. Home to one of the most valuable collections of modern and contemporary art outside the West, this iconic museum showcases masterpieces by legends like Picasso, Warhol, Pollock, and Monet, alongside works by Iranian artists that beautifully bridge tradition and modernity. Beyond its breathtaking collection, TMoCA’s architecture is a masterpiece in itself—designed by Kamran Diba, it blends Persian heritage with modernist elements. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious about Iran’s cultural scene, this museum offers a truly inspiring experience. Don’t miss the chance to explore one of the world’s hidden artistic treasures!

Every Iranian must be proud of this museum. Full of real-value and original international arts from most famous artists like Picasso😍. Also, its building is amazing!

We visited in May 2025 while Picasso’s work was displayed. Would recommend to visit this museum when in Tehran!

They were showcasing Picasso’s works, and it was very creative and delightful! Exhibiting masterpieces by great artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art is the perfect artistic combination.

The staff had been working hard and explain to us everything even the staff was the prisoner here. He share his experience with us and the story behind the museum. I was terrified of the way people were treated and tortured here at the time . I was almost crying because of this people .

I don’t recommend visiting the Ebrat Museum to everyone. If you want to see it, visits are only possible in groups because a guide explains the whole place. It’s better to be with others because the atmosphere is really heavy and unsettling. The walls are covered with photos of people who were imprisoned here. The small cells make you feel like the doors could shut any second and you’d be trapped inside. Definitely an intense and emotional experience.

Not sure about how real or exaggerated it is and no comment on this part but sure about one thing : WARNING: Extremely NOT recommended for kids specially under 13

This museum is the building of police force savak at mohamadreza king of Iran era.it is somehow frightening place where you can see many torture equipment which was used those days

It was one of the best musuem I visit in Tehran. The tour guide is one of the prisoners of this place so he also explained his experience and it was fascinating. I really got involved with the stories that he told.

- Important: This place is not appropriate for under 15, but the entrance gate let all range of age to visit. + its nice to see this prison to know about the history of the people, couldn't tolerate dictatorship. it's terrifying when the tour leader (Former prisoner ) describe the torturing methods. - Tour takes approx. 1:30h

My best experience of walking in the history

I believe many people come to this garden to access Cinema museum. Long entrance part is free of charge and I loved flower through a pair of glasses. Public area of entrance leads to the entrance of the park with entrance fee. Once inside, a short walk to the cinema museum. I saw two cafes inside the park with cute entrance and some gift shops. It is very compact garden so unless you are going to cinema museum, peeking from public area may suffice. I am glad I went in though…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Watching cinema here is a cultural experience. This is a historical Qajar complex with amazing cafes and views as well. The ticket booth gents are very hospitable to travelers, so ask them their thoughts of which movies to pick as well!

Ferdows Garden in Tehran is a historic Persian garden featuring lush greenery, fountains, and pathways. Dating back to the Qajar era, it houses the Cinema Museum of Iran within its grand mansion. A popular spot for relaxation and culture, it blends natural beauty with architectural charm.

Located in northern Tehran, this massive garden used to be the residence of one of the Iranian dignitaries in the past century. There is a mansion at the venter of the garden which is now the museum of cinema of Iran. There are a few souvenir stores and a bookshop. Overall, spending some time here is worth it and the place is ideal for some great photography.

Beautiful space, with unique cafes and shops in a nice neighborhood. It can be crowded during weekends and hard to find parking space. There are plenty of nice restaurants around it, so you can plan your trip for half a day when you can visit the garden and have a meal. The cinema is a descent one as well. I highly recommend visiting Ferdows Garden to the tourists and those who are visiting Tehran for a few days. Especially during spring and summer, you can enjoy your evening there with a wonderful weather.

Ferdows garden or bagh-e ferdows is a historical house in the north of Iran dates back to Qajar Dynasty. This house is using as a cinema museum and it's interesting. The area around this garden is so alive and crowd. Always you can see people playing some music instrument especially at weekends. You can drink tea or coffee there.

It's one of the most beautiful, historic places, if you're into history. You can check out any part of the palace; the library, the rooms, even the private movie theater and the royal garage.

Sure! Here's a shorter version: Niavaran Palace Review Niavaran Palace in northern Tehran is a beautiful blend of modern and traditional Persian architecture. It was the last Shah’s residence and offers a glimpse into royal life before the 1979 revolution. The palace features elegant rooms, a lovely library, and peaceful gardens. It’s a great spot for history lovers and anyone interested in Iran’s modern past. Let me know if you'd like it even shorter or with a different tone!

The gardens are peaceful, and everything is well-maintained. Some areas were under renovation during my visit, but overall it's a must-see if you're curious about Iran’s modern royal past.

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.

Nice visit for a 3 4 hour long walking and enjoying the nature inside it has some modern architecture and design inspections, it is filled with artifacts and amazing stuff. It usually has a better air quality than other places in Tehran and there's a great park nearby.

Niavaran royal palace from the first and second Pahlavi period. It is an amazing place. You can spend a whole day visiting this complex with your family on weekends. It is a piece of art and a piece of history of Iranian monarchy. Everywhere is amazing From the main palace to its unique library that will surprise you. It has a very beautiful with a green landscape and good facilities are also available for you.

During your trip to Iran, don't forget to visit the Glassware and Ceramic Museum (Abgineh Museum) in Tehran, where was the private residence of Prime Minister Ahmad Qavam (until 1951) and then the Embassy of Egypt. Now this museum showcases over 1000 art pieces spanning from pre-historical times to the present day

Wonderful exhibit in a wonderfully restored building. I admit I was attracted to the Museum solely because of the beautiful building that houses it. But to my great surprise the exhibits were very high quality and professionally displayed. A must visit for anyone who is in Tehran. The museum is located in the traffic control region so use public transport. Lots of great restaurants and coffee shops around to visit afterwards.

I did not want to visit this museum, it was late and i was heading to the Iran national museum. Super happy had a visit. The oldest glassware belongs to about 3000 years ago!! Astonishing glassware and ceramics holders and boxes (do not miss it).

Outstanding building with reach history. Ao many valuable items in museum which was nt that much attractive for me but they are really masterpieces. Kind and helpful staff. If you are in the area need to try truck foods all around the st.

One of the most glorious museums that you should go to at least one time. Besides the valuable items, the house itself has many details.

The building is really beautiful. The museum is all about different glassware and ceramics that are gathered from various time periods. Consider 1 hour to visit this museum.

An amazing place to see the beauty, history, glory and Persian art. Required time to pay a nice visit would be 1-2h. To see more pictures like what I put below please visit:

Amazing park, great place for a Sunday picnic. Has lots of space and even place for playing table tennis. Also has a bird zoo

Mellat Park is one of the my favorite parks in Iran. It's beautiful, clean, well maintained, & it attracts kids, women, & men. School trips also come here. It's a nice place to spend a time, & explore the nature. So, if you are a nature loving, then this peaceful, & beautiful park is waiting for you. Entry is free as, it's a public park.

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.

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 Reza Abbasi Museum is a compact and charming museum located in the heart of Tehran. Its collection is quite diverse, ranging from ancient pottery and Islamic metalwork to miniature paintings and calligraphy. The museum's atmosphere is very calm and suitable for a cultural outing. It can get a bit crowded at times, making it difficult to view some of the exhibits. However, if you're looking for a cultural and artistic experience, a visit to the Reza Abbasi Museum is highly recommended.

It is an underwhelming museum in downtown Tehran. Reza Abbasi was a prominent painter, after whom this museum is named, but there is literally nothing of his works here. The museum is on three floors. You start from the third floor where pre-Islam artefacts are kept; the first two floors are calligraphy of the Islamic period. The museum has very poor air conditioning, which covers only the corridors and not the galleries. During hot months, it is quite uncomfortable to walk around.

Today I visited the Reza Abbasi Museum in Tehran, and the experience was a bittersweet joy ❤️‍🩹. After twelve days of conflict between Iran and Israel, it is heartening that the museum has at long last reopened, albeit not fully. The second floor remains inaccessible and many of the displayed items lack informational tags, which made it hard for visitors like myself to discern their age or provenance. The museum itself carries a weighty history: it was officially inaugurated in 1977 under the patronage of Queen Farah Pahlavi (Shahbanu Farah Diba). Since then, it has faced multiple closures and reopenings — first shortly after the 1978–79 upheavals, then again in the 1980s, before reopening after renovation in 2000. Walking through the accessible galleries today, one cannot help but feel the weight of resilience — both of the museum and of the cultural heritage it protects. Yet the gaps in presentation (missing labels, silent artifacts) underscore how fragile that heritage is, particularly in times of unrest. I hope in the coming days the staff will restore full functionality, re-tag the pieces, and allow every floor to speak to us again, so that visitors may fully engage with the tapestry of Iranian art and history that Reza Abbasi Museum holds.

Hidden in an anonymous building this museum will surprise you with fine pieces. Start from third floor and gradually descend to the first to have a panoramic of Iranian history. Unfortunately most of descriptions are in Farsi and there isn't a book to guide you through the halls. Anyway it is a play worthy to be visited!!!

Most interesting and cutest museum in Iran. Especially the collections from 10-13 Centuries from Kashan. You can find modern emojis faces even😂Don’t miss it when you visit Tehran!

One of the best museums in Iran. Full of amazing miniatures, caligraphy and objects. For those who are interested in history this would be great. it has different sections on different floors. you need at least an hour to visit the whole museum even more.

Most underrated museum in Tehran. Unbelivable ancient art work.

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 !

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!

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.

A nice museum about cinema, its history, development and other related matters. Worth visiting once. has a beautiful garden and surrounding and a small a cozy cinema inside as well. we watched a movie in and was a kind of different experience of routine cinemas

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.

Lovely place with no entry (ticket). Two cafe restaurant with avarage quality a Cinema and a museum with 3 stores including book store and two handmade stores, down stair there is music store "sheno" it's perfect place to hear music and smoke right there and if it's your desier you can buy music albums from all around the world

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.

One of most recommended historical and cultural attraction in Tehran. I had good time taking photos in the beautiful garden and walking inside the museum.

Negarestan Garden Museum, affiliated with the University of Tehran, is one of the historic landmarks of Tehran. It was built in 1807 by the order of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar as a summer residence. Constructed in the Kolah Farangi architectural style, the complex includes two grand pavilions known as Delgosha and Ghalamdan Hall. The main building features rooms with wooden doors and two large halls on either side of the central structure. The garden consists of 64 rooms, four halls, and a library with four reading rooms, covering an area of 600 square meters. The halls are adorned with mirrorwork, golden motifs, and valuable chandeliers, reflecting the elegance of Qajar-era craftsmanship.

Autumn is in the air! It is a great walk around the garden ( and has cafe for a steaming coffee and tea which is perfect in this season). Visited in the afternoon and with the warm lighting, it has a a beautiful place to take photos. Many families and couples doing so. Contemporary art museum is quite impressive while the main building has another museum and conference room (which we can contact Tehran university if we wish to rent apparently). I enjoy various collections displayed there. Not sure how much is entrance which you need to pay to get in Negatestan Museum Garden. However it was such a pleasant walk through the garden with several pounds, falling golden l ave’s and gold fishes!

Negarestan Museum Garden — an oasis of art and history in the city’s heart. Built in the early 1800s by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, it earned its name as the ‘place of paintings.’ Wandering among mirror halls, tumbling fountains, and centuries-old artistry—including works by Kamal-ol Molk and his students—felt like stepping into Tehran’s soul. Entrance was 500,000 IRR, with just a couple of stairs at the gate… but oh, what a stairway into serenity. Tip: hop off at Baharestan metro, explore nearby museums, then unwind with a cup at Café Tehroon inside the garden

Negarestan Museum Garden in Tehran is a tranquil retreat from the city's hustle. Its lush greenery, historical buildings, and art exhibitions offer a serene ambiance for relaxation and cultural exploration. A hidden gem for visitors seeking peace and inspiration.

Tehran Negarestan Garden is a historical garden located in Tehran, Iran. It was established during the Qajar dynasty and has been a popular tourist destination for both locals and visitors. The garden is known for its beautiful landscaping, historic buildings, and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere, art museum, art gallery and its restaurant and cafe. The museum and restaurant are open until 5 PM but you can enjoy the garden until night. Negarestan Garden is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing the rich cultural heritage of Iran. Its restaurant has good quality and traditional design Consider that the ticket price for tourists is different from the locals. Same as other landmarks in Iran

I absolutely adored this place!! A beautiful garden with two musueum buildings (one builing had an exhibition of a contemporary Iranian artist, and the other one had the paintings from the early 20th century, silver crafts, mural and etc.) So beautiful.... I didn't want to leave the place!! I walked around the garden again and again, and had a great coffee time and a small lunch at the museum cafe which is located at the entrance. Hope many people come and appreciate the beauty of the Iranian garden. Highly recommend!! (Entrance fee was 400,000 Rial)

The Holy Defense Museum in Tehran is a moving and evocative place. When you enter, it's like stepping into another world, one that recalls the bravery and selflessness of the warriors during the Imposed War. The museum's design is excellent, using modern technologies to depict the events of the war. Each of the museum's halls tells a part of the war story, immersing you in the atmosphere. Seeing the war equipment, photos and documentaries is truly shocking. In my opinion, visiting this museum is a national duty for every Iranian to keep the memory of the martyrs and warriors alive.

Free entry One of the best museums I have been to In the world!(this is country 131 for me by the way) slightly tricky to find the entrance (look for the ship models outside, then go in and go to the first floor) Very engaging museum, single direction. Staff are everywhere, polite and have clear instruction in English.

I liked it. The curators did an excellent job using different methods of multimedia. Not an old stuffy museum but also no hands on exhibits. Good selection of old war machines outside.

A nice place for half a day walk around, specially if you like to see some Russian armor from the cold war era . if you walk 10 minutes there are coffee shops and restaurants available and the largest book store in Tehran with lots of varieties . One of the best museum I ve ever met in Iran. Very well designed and implemented. Staff are so professional, well educated, polite n kind. Mostly speak fluent english, you can see different aspect of war from tehran bombing till waling in Khorramshahr after occupied by Iraq. Defiantly one of recommended places in Tehran to spend some time there. There are god amount of parking spot around and so close to other places such as book garden and nature bridge.

I recently visited the Holy Defense Museum about the Iran–Iraq war, and it was an unforgettable experience. The people who guided us were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making the tour even more meaningful. What really struck me was the way history came alive there. It wasn’t just stories it was real, proper history of the war, presented in a powerful and moving way. Even my 8 years old son, born more than 40 years after the events, left with tears in his eyes after seeing those tragic scenes. It was deeply emotional, heartbreaking at times, but also a profound reminder of resilience and sacrifice. The quality of the exhibitions was excellent, and I truly believe this is a place every generation should visit. My only regret is that the museum is only open from 8 AM to 1 PM. A place like this deserves longer hours ideally, it should be open throughout the day, so more families and especially children can come, learn, and connect with their history.

A nice place for half a day walk around, specially if you like to see some Russian armor from the cold war era . if you walk 10 minutes there are coffee shops and restaurants available and the largest book store in Tehran with lots of varieties .

One of the most "unique" museum in Tehran. Introduced history of Iran-Iraq war from the viewpoint of Iran. Amazingly sofisticated, somewhat infographic exbision you will see inside, while outside there are a lot of actual fighters, tanks, weapons used in the war (it's free to visit the garden only). If you are interested in war history and or military issues, this is absolutely "where you should go" spot. You can use subway from Central City, it is walking distance from station to the museum. I recommend.

National Botanical Garden of Iran (Persian: باغ گیاه‌شناسی ملی ایران) is a Botanical Garden in Tehran, Iran. Its area is about 150 hectares and is planned to be the main center for horticulture and plant taxonomy in Iran. A herbarium of Iranian plants (TARI) is gradually being built up and now consists of some 160,000 numbers. Also there are gardens of non-Iranian plants such as Himalayan, American, Japanese, African, and Australian.[1] The garden also contains an arboretum, Six lakes, hills (to represent the Alborz and Zagros Mountains and Himalayas), rock garden, a waterfall, a wetland, desert plants areas, a salt lake and a wadi, a river about 1 km long, systematic area, fruit garden, picnic area with some pavilions and other facilities. The botanical and horticultural library has more than 11,000 volumes.

The National Botanical Garden of Iran is a breathtaking oasis of natural beauty, where vibrant colors, diverse landscapes, and serene atmospheres come together in perfect harmony. Strolling through its vast expanses, visitors encounter lush Hyrcanian forests with towering trees, delicate alpine flowers from mountainous regions, and the exotic allure of desert plants thriving in arid displays. The garden's meticulously designed pathways lead to tranquil ponds adorned with water lilies, while the rock gardens and flowerbeds burst with seasonal blooms, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of textures and fragrances. Each section offers a unique visual feast, from the golden hues of autumn foliage to the fresh greenery of spring, making it a year-round sanctuary for nature lovers and a living masterpiece of Iran’s botanical heritage.

Unfortunately, either I visited it at the wrong time, or the condition and condition of the internal environment was not adequate and appropriate. I expected better conditions. Unfortunately, many routes were closed or could not be visited at this time. Of course, it should be kept in mind that the spring season has just started and many plants are either sleeping or budding.

It is one of the cleanest and most beautiful places in Tehran. It has beautiful nature from several different countries Some parts of this park give the feeling of the streets of Europe, Canada and America. It is definitely recommended to visit it once . But the entrance fee is expensive!

I bought the ticket from there but you can buy the ticket in advance. There were a flower shop in front of the entrance gate where you could buy seeds and flowers. The gave a garden’s map to you while checking your tickets. From my point of view the Hirkani jungle was the most beautiful part of it. Other parts included:Japanese and Chinese part,American,African and … parts.the label of plants were adequate. There were multiple lakes and rivers there. The butterfly museum included butterflies from all continents and other bugs. Highly recommended.

Great place to visit in tehran. Its huge garden with different sections which represent variety of species in different areas. U need few hour or to be able enjoy all area. Its so clean n well organized n design. Staff were nice n helpful. Highly recommended

If you want to take a walk in the beautiful nature, but don't want to spend lot of time and effort to go outside of Tehran, this is the place for you. Especially in autmn, the festival of colors is breathtaking !

The building is closed if there are no galleries or shows, but the shop is open with lots of cool stuff. Park is nice and chill, too.

A must while you are visiting Tehran. Most of the time they have interesting galleries and art collections. There are two different cafes around it which have good food and drinks. I believe its restaurant was among the first offering vegan food in Tehran.

One of the most beautiful sites worth visiting if you are interested in art and painting

I love this place. the house of art and theater of Iran. Each day, Art exhibitions and galleries are held here. you can find their schedule in their telegram channel

It is nice place for art loving people. A variety of galleries with nice art displays. Also a beautiful garden and good cafe.

The restuarant is a cosy place on top of the building looking to a beautiful scenery of Artists Park. I recommand this place for anyone who is seeking an special experience.

This place had full of peace... ... this building had a cofeetria, some galleries, art things store, theater saloon and a restaurant on the roof ... I like it

One of the biggest park at south of tehran, This park provides a beautiful and peaceful space for recreation, walking, sports and enjoying nature. With lovely cats 😻😸

"A beautiful and peaceful park in the heart of the city. Perfect for walking, relaxing, or enjoying nature. There are plenty of trees, green spaces, and a small lake that makes the atmosphere very refreshing. Clean and well-maintained — a great spot to escape the busy streets for a while."

Expansive and scenic park 👌

This park was established as the first Tehran park in 1339 in the heart of Tehran. Over the years, many recreational and tourist facilities have been added to this park, and thus remains one of the most visited and most memorable parks in the city of Tehran. The aquarium located on the southeast side of the city park was first built as a refuge in the war between Iran and Iraq. After the war, the sanctuary changed to an aquarium for displaying freshwater fish. Also, fish and aquarium supplies are sold at this place. The artificial lake of Park City is located on the northeast side. You can ride in the lake.

Oldest park in Tehran located at the historic district of tehran near the grand bazzar. Founded during the Qajar era it has a good exhibition of live beautiful birds throughout the year.

Beautiful garden where you can rest and you can rent a ball and racket to play tennis

A big , clean, beauty and nice park at center of capital. There are several WC , amusement park and restaurant there. Suitable for children and family.

Iran Mall is a true masterpiece of architecture and culture that offers visitors an unparalleled experience. This massive complex, with its stunning design and vast spaces, presents a fascinating blend of traditional and modern markets. Wandering through the Persian Garden, inspired by the Mahan Gardens of Kerman, strolling through the Hall of Mirrors, which evokes the Golestan Palace, and visiting the Jundishapur Library, all provide a delightful journey into the heart of Iran's history and culture.. In addition to its cultural and recreational facilities, the immense variety of reputable domestic and international brand stores, a large hypermarket, and a food court offering a wide array of delicious foods, have made Iran Mall an ideal destination for shopping and leisure. This complex, by creating a beautiful and functional space, has become a symbol of prosperity and progress in the tourism and commerce industries, providing a positive and unforgettable experience for every visitor.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Iran Mall, and it was an incredible experience. The mall itself is vast and impressive, offering a wide range of shops, dining options, and entertainment facilities. However, what truly stood out to me was the charming rooftop area. The roof of Iran Mall is an absolute gem. It features a beautifully designed trail that is perfect for a quick walk or a leisurely stroll. As I walked along the path, I was treated to stunning panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape. The blend of modern architecture with natural elements creates a serene and captivating atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to take a break from shopping or simply want to enjoy a moment of tranquility, the rooftop trail is the perfect spot. The combination of fresh air, beautiful landscaping, and breathtaking views makes it a must-visit feature of Iran Mall. Overall, Iran Mall offers a delightful experience, and its rooftop area is the icing on the cake. I highly recommend visiting to anyone looking for a mix of luxury, relaxation, and stunning scenery.

"One of the most impressive shopping malls I’ve ever visited! The architecture is stunning, with a perfect mix of modern design and traditional Persian elements. There’s a huge variety of shops, restaurants, and cafés, plus cultural attractions like a library and art galleries. Very clean, spacious, and well-organized. A must-visit place in Tehran!"

Huge modern shopping mall. You can't see everything in one day 😀 Very nicely designed. Some areas are also presented in the beautiful old architectural design. You pay in advance for parking in the big parking garage. So you can easily stay there for a long time.

It is one of the biggest mall in the world one of the best place to shop highly recommended the only problem is you need to go with cash as international tourist your bank cards would not work here.

Food was alright staff were ok but the mall Air conditioning system was absolutely rubbish. You can’t sit in a sauna and have your dinner.

One of the best parks with great green space and smart architecture of walking paths and water features. This park is highly recommended to visit.

It has a well-designed structure, there is a 3-storey iron bridge from one end of the street to the other and it has a very good environment, there is a path to the walking park behind it, try it if you come to 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.

Very beautiful and very big. Lots of trails for walking on both sides of the blvd. Nice small stores, big book store, cool dining spots.. it will take a whole day to walk in the entire area or even more.

Enjoy nice weather and lovely statues and benches each designed by an artist.There are different foodcourts and little fountains in places which kids love to cross over them.Walk Tabiat Bridge and take pictures with the wonderful view. A great park with amenities.There are plenty of restaurants.Playground and skate track are available for children and adults. The main thing of this park is Tabiat bridge but it is always too crowded to even walk in peace

Nice and quiet place to get a fresh air and enjoy a beautiful day in Tehran.

My visit to the Malek National Library & Museum in Tehran was an extraordinary cultural exploration that beautifully captured Iran's rich intellectual heritage. For an incredibly reasonable entrance fee of 250,000 IRR, I discovered a treasure trove of historical manuscripts, rare books, and exquisite Islamic art collections that transported me through centuries of scholarly and artistic traditions. The museum's meticulously preserved rare manuscripts, elegant architectural design, and thoughtfully curated exhibits offered a profound glimpse into Iran's intellectual legacy, creating an immersive experience that went far beyond my initial expectations. The knowledgeable staff and the serene atmosphere of the library made the visit not just educational, but deeply inspiring, revealing the depth of Iranian cultural and academic contributions. This remarkable institution is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking to understand the rich intellectual landscape of Iran, offering an unparalleled journey through knowledge, art, and history.

At the national garden complex (باغ ملی), this museum is highly recommended for a visit as the exterior and interior design and architecture are very unique from the other buildings in the complex. No reservations or tickets, at least when I visited in Nov). They have lockers for your personal items at the entrance. In one room, they have a gallery outlining THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF PERSIA/Iran! Really gives you a big picture of Middle East in the past 3000 years!

Malek National Museum houses seven distinct collections: Coin Collection: This collection includes over 3,000 Iranian coins and medals dating from the 6th century BC to the Pahlavi era, as well as coins from Greece, Alexander's successors, the Byzantine Empire, Islamic caliphates, and the Ottoman Empire.

It also includes chandeliers and furniture. Lacquer Art Collection: This collection comprises 86 pieces, including pencil cases, mirror frames, and fountains, decorated with lacquer paintings. Some of these artifacts are over 300 years old. Stamp Collection: This collection contains thousands of stamps, from the first stamps published in Iran and around the world to the present day. Carpet Collection: This collection includes 34 carpets and rugs from various regions of Iran, woven by the finest weavers of the last two centuries. Ezzat Malek Malek Collection: This collection, donated to the museum in 2005 by Mrs. Ezzat Malek Malek (the daughter of the late Haj Hossein Malek and the authorized supervisor of Malek's endowments), consists of Qajar paintings, manuscripts, pencil cases, sarqlians, and lacquer works, totaling 47 pieces. Calligraphy Collection: This collection showcases the works of renowned Iranian and Islamic calligraphers, such as Yaqut Mostasami, Alireza Abbasi, Mir Imad, Ahmad Nirizi, Darvish Abdul Majid Taleghani, and Mirza Gholamreza Esfahani, among others.

This place has different parts such as a coin collection of historical periods of Iran , some national and international stamp collections, historical books, some of paint works of Kamal Almolk and a library. Also its cost is cheap. In addition, it is in nice historical place of Tehran.

Very good museum with great design and management. Its suitable for childs too (1000 sory srction)

Malek Museum is one of the most spectacular places in Tehran, which is located in the historical context of this city. Malek National Library and Museum is considered a valuable cultural place in the capital of our country, which was established in 1316 by a person named Hossein Agha Malek, and then it was dedicated to Astan Quds Razavi and currently it is managed under the direct supervision of Astan Quds Razavi. The distinctive and praiseworthy feature of this valuable cultural and historical collection is the presence of unique and rare objects in it. When you visit Malek Museum, you can watch 3 thousand years of history and culture of Islam and Iran and experience an exciting journey in the history of our country.

Beautiful museum. It's got an amazing history behind it: There was this billionare living in Tehran about 200 hundred years ago, and he decides to put everything he got for public benefit. Then he gives away all the stores and houses he had, to build up a money resource for maintaining the things he gave away before. There's a great library and a nice museum to visit.

This is an incredibly beautiful garden, especially in spring when tulips are planted, creating a stunning view. It’s also lovely in other seasons, offering tall, beautiful trees and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The garden is located in a cozy, serene spot, making it a perfect place to relax year-round.

An incredible garden, totally worth visiting—especially in spring when the tulips are in full bloom. However it is really crowded in this period even in working hours.

Fascinating traditional Iranian garden with hundred year old trees and several elements of conventional Iranian garden. Tulips of different colors give it an enchanting ambiance and smell in spring. Nonetheless, its beauties attract me 4 seasons! During the day, it is an amazing place to enjoy a rather cool summer weather and shadows of the trees, and in the evening, lights and flowers give it an unexplicable feeling of joy! It's a must-see when you are in Tehran.

Gorgeous urban garden, with a nice variety of flowers (especially tulips). Looks like a really nice place for a picnic, although since we visited during Ramadan there were obviously no one eating in public during the day.

One the best parks for chilling and relaxing after work ❤️

An old and restored garden which has used Persian traditional #architecture called Iranian #garden in one of the old neighborhoods of Tehran known as Deh Vanak. It has #beautiful, colorful #flowers along with tall, old #trees where you can sit down and enjoy the beauty and forget the hustle and bustle of a big city like #Tehran. It's an environment appropriate with the Iranian culture for spending #leisure time. you can say a small piece of heaven with colorful tulips in the Spring. I suppose it is also registered as #UNESCO World #Heritage sites of Iran.

This is the longest street in the Middle East with ancient trees and lots of stories behind 😌😍

The real name is Pahlavi St.

Great

lovely street...

Very good

Beautiful street happy to live here☺️

Simply one of the most beautiful streets in the middle east

The Music Museum was filled with beautiful, traditional instruments and had a very calming and peaceful atmosphere. It’s a great place to explore the rich history of music, and I definitely recommend visiting.

The museum houses a comprehensive collection of Persian instruments from across Iran. The architectural design of the building is aesthetically pleasing, and the museum provides a serene environment for visitors. The admission fee is reasonably priced, making it an accessible attraction for individuals interested in exploring the rich musical heritage of Persia.

whether you are interested in music or not, this place is a must-visit museum for you. there are more than 200 types of musical instruments here, in different parts where you can see and gain more information about them. The building of this museum is an old house that has been converted into a music museum after restoration. In addition, it has a beautiful courtyard with a coffee shop inside it, overall is a beautiful place to enjoy your life

The Space Music Museum had a beautiful atmosphere. I saw ancient and lovely instruments and felt so relaxed. I recommend visiting it at least once!

It was nice and good and there was a man who has also telling you everything about the museum, the most interesting part for me was a place which you can play your own musics by yourself and it doesn't matter if you can't play good with them

Since human understand how to speak they learned how to listening. Music is an art which is dedicated to our history. In Persian literature we have had many poets whom influenced by their poems in different aspects of musical instruments. This museum is one of the most likely and locally beloved areas for seeking knowledge and beauty of sounds. Very recommend these autumn days. In the museum you may face different Persian instruments, famous people exhibition in music of Iran and the most interesting one you can play with some of the instruments like Do-Tar , Setar , violin and etc. For more information follow up my Instagram: nikannazari1

A beautifully preserved gem in Tajrish that feels like stepping into the soul of Iran’s musical heritage. The building itself is an elegant historic mansion, and inside you’ll find an impressive collection of traditional instruments, each displayed with care and context. The lighting and quiet atmosphere make it easy to appreciate every detail. Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, adding depth to the experience with stories and explanations. Perfect for music lovers or anyone curious about Iranian culture — it’s both inspiring and peaceful. A must-visit in Tehran.

good church good people. This is not just church, it’s a monument of Armenian people in Iran. There are other churches in Tehran but this one is the best known because it’s in a good place that people see it and it’s beautiful from outside. If you ask any one in tehran to give you the address of a church , they will show you this one

The church is located at a busy road of capital city of Tehran. Iranian are so good to provide facilities to non muslims in the country but I think about a bad thing, habtually in Iran that is sectarianism. They considered muslim only to shia and life for other sects is not easy. All the Muslim People other than shia are not enjoying their lives but with extra ordinary care. Iranian people must relise this and need to change their mind set for all of the MUSLIMS.

Whenever I look at this church I feel great, with its white color. I never had a chance to visit the inside but I'm happy that our country respect different religions.

Beautiful Armenian church in heart of Tehran. Lots of good memories. Weddings, baptisms. Easter and New years celebrations. Beautiful architecture.

They are immensely rude! I was there with a friend, and we got verbally assaulted by an elderly church staff, who told us to get out! Dont visit this place, it is not nice at all and it has nothing to do with christ!

many beautiful memories from my childhood and growing up , where I found the truth and love was in fact in that stunning church , god bless

Historical church in Tehran

This was a nice experience for me, to see some of the historical sites I haven't gotten the chance to see, even as a miniaturized version! There's also a handicrafts shop near the entrance which had some nice products. I recommend you visit this park.

You can see some miniature samples of nearly all of historical heritage of IRAN. Every structure is built to represent its real world building with the scale of one to twenty five (1:25). The result is nice. You can see that samples are located in the park according to the their location in Iran, although not accurately. For instance, Persepolis and Pasargad shoult have been aligned more to the west. Among the structures, Arg_e_Bam, is the only one not completely represented, probably due to its real world size: It's only the center of the Arg that has been re-created : Hakem_Neshin. I visited the park in a cloudy day of winter, and I suggest to avoid sunny days and plan for a warmer afternoon to fully enjoy spending time in the park. There is an entrance fee of 20000 Rial as of Feb 2019. And some shop including handicraft shop and Cafe shop exist after the entrance gate. All and all, it's worth visiting if weather is clean(since it's located near a Highway) and you're interested in history.

A park with attractive models for children to familiarize themselves with the historical structures of Iran. But they should be kept in better conditions so that they can be introduced to people for a longer period of time. It would have been better to have a guide on site to provide the visitors with information about the replicas so that the visitors could learn about their historical background along with seeing the replicas. Many of these historical monuments are registered as world heritage in UNESCO. The protection of these works after registration, while remaining under the jurisdiction of the respective country, will be the responsibility of all member countries. UNESCO World Heritage sites are places such as forest, mountain, reservoir, desert, tomb, building, complex or city.

Some UNESCO heritages are missed.

As a tourist i want to sit and have a cold/hot drink in outdoor space Phone charging station didn't work.

This garden is very beautiful . Professionally put up beautiful models in the park. There are some replicas of famous Iranian monuments including Persepolis . I suggest you visit this beautiful garden.

Sculptures are not that interesting to me but the architecture of this garden is Iranian with interesting fountain system to disperse the water to different parts of this garden.

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.

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.

Nice museums and lovely relaxing area. It has jungle views and Shah house and properties. Recommended to walk around the park as well to see the area and the aesthetic houses where people live.

Amazing history and memories.I do recommend to visit this palace 🎎

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 😊

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.

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.

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.

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.

Palladium Mall, located in the northern part of Tehran (Zaferaniyeh), is a modern and upscale shopping center offering a premium retail experience. The mall hosts a wide variety of international and local brands, particularly in fashion, cosmetics, and home decor. Its clean and well-maintained environment, along with stylish interior design, makes it an attractive destination for shoppers seeking quality and comfort. The mall also features a spacious food court, several fine dining restaurants, a well-stocked supermarket, pharmacy, and a fitness center. While it can get crowded during weekends, the overall atmosphere remains calm and organized. Parking is available but may be limited during peak hours.

Palladium Mall is an upscale shopping center in north Tehran with luxury boutiques, diverse restaurants, a modern food court, and a well-stocked supermarket. Its architecture and cleanliness make it stand out, and it’s a great spot for both shopping and leisure. However, it’s quite pricey, often crowded, and parking can be difficult during peak hours.

Palladium Shopping Center is one of the most luxurious and stylish shopping centers in Tehran, in the Zafaranieh area. It has a modern design, international brands, various restaurants and coffee shops. Its customers are mostly wealthy people and foreign tourists. Its environment is pleasant and clean, it has a large parking lot and provides a good space for family fun and shopping. Of course, the prices of goods are high and not affordable for everyone. If you are looking for a luxurious atmosphere, branding or special shopping, it is a good choice.

Palladium Mall offers a dynamic shopping experience in Tehran, boasting a diverse range of stores, eateries, and entertainment options. Its modern design and convenient location make it a favorite destination for both locals and visitors alike. A bustling hub of activity, Palladium Mall promises an enjoyable outing for all.

Palladium Mall is modern, large, and has a good mix of shops and restaurants, plus a nice food court. It’s clean and well-maintained, and you’ll find both international and local brands. On the downside, it can get very crowded on weekends, parking isn’t always easy, and prices in some stores are pretty high. Not quite a “5 star” experience, but definitely above average and probably one of the best malls in Tehran.

one of the best malls in Tehran Great place for spending time and hang around. it has so many international brands. The food court has a great variety of foods and restaurants

Palladium is one if the upscale shopping centers in northern Tehran. The place is know for its luxurious brands and excessively expensive market. It's good to stroll in for a while inside. The food court caters almost all tastes.

One of the beautiful house in center of Tehran is moghaddam museum . This house from the Qajar era is a very nice and interesting place for visitors. All the valuable collections of ancient history and paintings from around the world gathered in this place. A small coffee shop in a beautiful yard in the middle of this house.

In central Tehran, this house museum tells the story of one of the Iranian pioneers of excavation in historical sites. Born into an affluent family, Hossein Moghaddam studies in Europe of different occasions. Upon his return to Iran, he resided in this house and was busy teaching in the university and leading excavation works in the southern part of the country. The house has been renovated, but certain areas retain their original structure. It is typical of late 19th century Iranian architecture where one big courtyard in the centre connects different areas of the house. Consider that the place can get very crowded at times.

The Moghadam House Museum of the University of Tehran once belonged to Dr. Mohsen Moghadam, the son of Ehtesab al-Molk, and was donated to the university in 1972. This house, built in the late Qajar era on Sepah Street, was registered as a national heritage site in 2000. It consists of three courtyards: the outer and inner yards. The buildings include a vestibule, reception room, workshop, aristocratic tower, Qajar-era veranda, and more. The complex also features a Japanese garden, designed and created by Mohsen Moghadam and his wife, inspired by traditional Japanese gardens.

It was a small museum with a beautiful garden. Even in the winter time (no blooming flowers), it was still beautiful. Only, there was absolutely no English explanation (what was this place for, who was the owner), and they only took card payment. No cash. As a tourist, I didn't have a local debit card, and didn't know how to pay. Luckily some kind iranian girls helped me with the payment. Looked like this place was a popular for young girls. Instagram spot. Many ladies came, and they made hundreds of photos. Fun to watch them as well. They had a museum cafe/restaurant in the garden, and the food was beautifully presented and tasty. A bit pricy considering the local price. Truly a jem of Tehran.

Must must visit. It's completely off the tourist radar which lends it a certain peace, missing in other parts of Tehran. The noisy streets outside suddenly dissipate into oblivion once you enter Moghadam museum. The gardens are lovely, and the exhibits are rare. The sea shell room left me spellbound.

An amazing house with a great architect and a nice atmosphere! You will never forget this house after your visit, specially during spring! There is also a museum inside this house and a nice cafe! Don't miss it!

One of the most beautiful and unique museums in Tehran that you should definitely visit. I recommend going there in spring because of the tree with blossoms that has grown in front of the main building. The price of the entrance ticket was 30,000 tomans per person.

Great architecture for a military school in compare with other buildings around. Although government doesn't do well with ancient buildings, it has fabulous and outstanding frieze even after over 50 years.

This palace is currently under a renovation which has been paused due to legal issues. Once renovated, I am sure it will be beautiful and definitely worth a visit. But it is not worth visiting for the next several years.

It's a palace of Qajar dynasty in old Tehran. Unfortunately it's not renovated and it's impossible visit inside of the palace, but still you can see different Iranian arts in the facade of each buildings.

This is a masterpiece of architecture with pluster decoration. To visit there as many other places you have to buy a entrance ticket. The prices are 25000 Rials for domestics and 150000 Rials for others. In the past there was a café and restaurant but at now there isn't because its yard is under excavation and some archeologists guest there is footprints of an ancient town back to 7000 before.

Masoudieh Palace is a beautiful complex of buildings dating back to the Qajar period. Nice and quiet getaway, much like the close Negarestan Gardens one of these hidden gems of Tehran. There is supposed to be a very nice café, but as I visited during a public holiday, everything apart from the garden was closed unfortunately.

The Masoudieh Mansion had been built 150 years ago by the Zalolsoltan (the shadow of the king). It is one of the most beautiful historical places in Tehran, but unfortunately it is almost closed due to the repairs and visitors can just enjoy the yard and Facade of the buildings.

The place itself is nice to visit but how they care of this palace is terrible, most of the windows are broken, you don't have access to the inside of the building and overall everything is in a really bad shape. I wonder why they sell ticket if they don't take care of the place with the revenue!

Busy and pretty. If they open super early, better go that time.

Although I'm not a religious guy I visited this mosque to admire its beautiful skyline, architecture, various ornament details and last, but not least, to socialize with some girls. (I promised them to publish their photo, so here it is).

Imamzadeh Saleh is the name of the cemetery in the Tajrish region of Tehran. This is a famous shrine of Tehran, with an area of three thousand meters in the south-east side of Tajrish Square.The original monument is a quadrangle with a magnificent square with its inner space of 422 thousand and 50 square meters with has tall walls. Due to the arches of the vaults, in terms of the style and architecture of the monuments The Ilkhanite era was most likely to be built in the seventh and eighth centuries AH.

Here are less tourist than at other places in Teheran. It's cool to see the locals sitting on the square and enjoying a picnic. Worth to visit. Don't miss the Tajrish Bazaar next to it.

If there is not too many people, maybe you can sit back and relax inside the holy shrine. Sometimes they serve you with breakfast early morning. During certain celebrations there is crowded and you can hardly get in. It is the most famous holy shrine in Tehran. You can also visit the small bazaar beside this place.

One of the religious places in the north of Tehran. Whenever I need to pray to God, I go to this place.

It's a beautiful shrine with nice interior design by many pieces of miror Folks pray and the atmospher is quite lovely :)

An amazing place to visit in Tehran, nice landscape, amazing historical house and a nice cafe-restaurant. The toilet which is in the entrance was not so clean.

Really worth to visit. I suggest to visit this amazing place in the evening when you have light start to visit the building and then when it gets dark, check the outside of the building which is amazing. There is a cozy nice cafe shop next to the historical building. Sit outside and enjoy the peaceful vibe.

Great restaurant in the garden to relax for late afternoon away from buzzing of the Tajish market. I think of you like a clock and watch, it may worth a visit. The beautiful building and what I appreciated was a section of memorial watch. Most of the people teams has English translations. I spent 15 minutes in total. Was on Friday afternoon and the museum was full of young couples taking pics of building! That was nice. 10 minutes from the market so if you are around, nice to drop by!

The Time Museum was a beautiful house with lovely stucco work, featuring a tasteful owner and a collection of antique clocks and calendars.

The story behind the Time Museum is truly sad. The original owner lived here for only about a year before being exiled, and the house was confiscated. Now it’s a museum, and at least it hasn’t been destroyed. The collection includes clocks, calendars, and various time-measuring tools. The most beautiful part for me was the Isfahani-style room — I really enjoyed its intricate details and beauty.

Time Museum (Muze-ye Zaman)** A must-visit gem in Tehran! This museum is housed in the stunning former residence of **Hossein Khodadad**, a renowned Iranian entrepreneur. The building itself is a masterpiece, adorned with **exquisite plasterwork** blending Persian and European architectural styles. Inside, you’ll find a fascinating collection of **timekeeping devices**, from ancient sundials and water clocks to luxurious mechanical watches and pocket watches. It’s a journey through humanity’s quest to measure time, with exhibits spanning centuries and cultures.

In one word, Wonderful. Time museum located in a garden at Zaferaniye street. From the entrance you will notice a calmness and artistic vibe. This house took more than a decade to build. Mind blowing detail in the house combined with a great collection of watches from the beginning of watchmaking. All kind of watches waits behind the glass for you to see them. Definitely recommend it to visit even if you are stay at tehran for short period.

It was my misunderstanding as I was expecting typical museum of art as such but it is indeed art in the form of miniature replication of famous buildings in Iran. Open garden with numerous friendly cats who will come and greet you ( I suppose they would welcome if you share your food but unfortunately I went to the park too early so no restaurant were open in the park). Indeed it has many beautiful cafe and restaurants ( I think I counted 4 of them). There are many benches to sit down and enjoy the tranquility of the autumn leaves falling from trees and enjoyment of soft and warm autumn sun. Great to stroll for ten minutes and sit down in the cafe ( if it is open) or bench and read a book. Entrance is free of charge. Next time, I need to bring treats for cats!

The garden of the Iranian Art Museum, located near Dr. Hesabi Museum, offers a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. While it's a small space, the garden is well-maintained and features miniature replicas of historic Iranian landmarks, giving visitors a charming glimpse into the country’s architectural heritage. It's a lovely spot for a short stroll or quiet reflection, especially for those exploring nearby cultural sites.

The Museum of Contemporary Art's garden in Iran is an extraordinary space located in the northern part of Tehran, in the delightful climate of Elahieh. In this area, elements from iconic structures of Iran, ranging from the Azadi Tower to the Shams-ol-Emareh in Golestan Palace, are incorporated. Additionally, there are two cafés within the garden where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of this enchanting space.

Absolutely loved the peaceful garden and beautiful miniatures of famous Iranian landmarks. Perfect spot for a quiet walk, taking photos, or just relaxing for an hour. One of those hidden gems in Tehran I always recommend to friends.

It is a small beautiful and tranquil garden that exhibits some of the most beautiful replicas of Iran's archiological buildings. It contains several stores that offer Persian handicrafts and a coffee shop and a restaurant in a pleasant environment.

This garden houses the miniature replicas of the prominent historical sites in Iran. These replicas were designed and made for the 2500th anniversary of the Iranian monarchy but were never used publicly in that period until it was decided to be placed in the garden. It's an ideal place to have a walk around and get to know the sites through the replicas.

Garden is situated North of Tehran. There is a restaurant and a few small shops inside it. There are also several miniature historical structures in the garden which is nice to see.

The following photos are related to the garden of Tehran Palace Museum. Take a look at the stories. This place was a prison before and it has become a recreation area for citizens. There are still elements of past here. However, you will also encounter various artistic elements. It has good energy here, if you do not think about its past

Qasr Garden Museum blends history with open space in a way that makes you slow down. The old prison building has been restored into a cultural spot, and walking through its brick halls feels both heavy and fascinating. The gardens outside are quiet, with tall trees and a central fountain that give you a break from the city noise. Not every section is always open, and some parts feel a bit underused, which is why I wouldn’t give it a full 5. Still, for anyone interested in Tehran’s layers of history and a less-crowded place to wander, it’s worth the visit.

There are 2 prisons in a big garden, i don't suggest the political one, but one of them called Markove is the first modern prison in Iran which designed by a Russian architect. He considered Iranian architectural style and material in design of the prison. There are some old cars, some other stuff on exhibition. In the garden you can find 3 cafes with pleasant atmosphere.

It was prison before and rebuilt after many years and turned to park and museum ,nice built but It should be just museum not garden ... falling deep in blue there

Qasr museum garden has a nice environment which attracts everyone.it has some beautiful cafes. One of them is Loghante cafe with an Iraniam classic theme of 1970s. This photo is taken there.

Amazing! I visited so many times and enjoyed

A must-see museum for contemporary history fans.

Great park for walking or just to get away from the busy city. Lots of great artwork scattered across the park as well as several sports centers such skating and soccer. There is also a cultural center as well as a cinema. The park is well maintained and has lots of shade trees.

Beautiful and peaceful park with a relaxing atmosphere. The café 'Chocolat' has friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended!

ARTIST park, also called garden art garden or Iranshahr garden, is one of the historical places of the Qajar era.This park, once was a garden of the Nasseri period in Tehran, has now become the park of artists.The home of artists, created for the purpose of gathering and exchanging art works, has created a cultural and artistic atmosphere. The building, which is one of the military buildings left over from the Second World War, was located on the South of the park which is completely renovated.

"Tarzan" statue by Jafar Najibi. An abstract work of a "tar" player.

Good park with so many cats and many little dogs that people bring for walking, a couple of coffee shops in the park and around, street music at nights, art galleries in the buildings, and some modern design statues in the green area. At the weekends it is somehow difficult to find a parking space. Sometimes in the new year holidays here is the place for exhibition of handicrafts and souvenirs.
