Why visit Tehran?

Tehran is Iran’s largest city and a practical gateway for many journeys. Its museums and royal complexes provide context for the country’s modern and imperial history, while bazaars, parks and northern neighborhoods show a different side of daily urban life.

What to see in Tehran

Popular cultural stops include the Golestan Palace complex, the National Museum of Iran, the Grand Bazaar and the former royal complexes in the north of the city. A private itinerary can be adjusted around opening days, traffic and your interests rather than forcing every traveler into the same schedule.

How long to stay

Many first-time itineraries allow one or two full sightseeing days in Tehran. Extra time can be useful for museums, contemporary art, shopping or a slower arrival day after an international flight.

Where to go next

Tehran can connect naturally with central-Iran routes toward Isfahan, Yazd and Shiraz. We can arrange the sequence around your arrival city, trip length and preferred transport.
