- Ali NazifpourTehran, Iran30 contributionsOverall, the best place to visit in Tehran. The palace itself is very large and beautiful and it's worth the price of admission in itself, but in addition to the palace, there are multiple great museums which include some great works of art by both foreign artists and Kamal-ol-Molk, the preeminent Iranian artist. There are many helpful guides and enough explanations and it provides 2 great dive into the history of Qajar period.
However I would like to deduct a point for two reasons (1) the audio guide is awful and inconvenient with long unnecessary music and it should stick with explanations (2) there's only one toilet in the entire complex which is very inconvenient due to how large it is.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The atmosphere was very cozy as if you are walking a bazar in Safavid or Qajar period. you can literally find anything there, from delicious street for to weird handicrafts. prices are fine BUT remember do not carry cash because the sellers do not change your cash. I highly recommend you to contact with companies that issue a tourist card such as Moneyro Group. Although this bazar is at the center of tehran but the only good way to access to it is subway. have funWritten 29 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ali NazifpourTehran, Iran30 contributionsOne of the best features of Tehran. Good design of the bridge, overlooking a good view, good cafes, and connecting two public parks. The architect was a young woman who was studying her PhD at the time. It's usually bustling with life.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

The Iran Bastan Museum (starting with the Palaeolithic Period and moving forward) and the Museum of Islamic Art. My favourite was the Bastan, but that’s where my interest lies. Both are large and well organised and you can easily spend half a day wandering around.Written 19 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Parsi-ToursTehran Province, Iran44 contributionsDarband looks like a natural jewel amid the hustle and bustle of a crazy metropolitan like Tehran! If you’re tired of traffic and pollution and need peace, go to Darband in the north of Tehran and enjoy the scenery and pleasant weather. There, you can go either hiking or mountaineering to Mount Tochal, take some nice photos, or have fun eating Persian food and snacks in a traditional restaurant, all alongside a river winding from the hillside to the top. Darband’s so popular among Iranians and you can have a great chance to mingle with locals there. You can also use other recreational facilities, such as a chairlift. You can reach there by bus, metro, or taxi via Tajrish Square.Written 12 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bae C2 contributionsIt was interesting. I suggest you to visit there if you have extra time.

- Shumail HasanKarachi, Pakistan3 contributionsMust place to visit specially in snow season.
You have to reach Tajrish through metro. Once you reach Tajrish square (few mins walk from metro station), go towards Eram Taxi Terminal and ask for Valenjak/Tochal. They will charge you 15k tomman per head. Taxi will drop you at gate of Tochal complex from here you can walk to bus terminal (500m walk). Here you can sit on small bus for 18k tomman for locals and 50k tomman for foreigners, this will take you to chair lift area. If you don't want to take bus then there is steep walk of 1.6km to chair lift area. You can purchase tickets with respect to stations (picture for tickets attached). I suggest to use snap and ask the driver to drop you at end point (chair lift ticket area). Note: They don't take cash so ask locals to pay through card and you can pay them cash accordingly. There is cafe and washroom at station 5. Please keep your tickets safe until you reach down as they check tickets every time you sit in cabin. You can also track upto station 5 or 7.Written 15 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Museum House was originally a luxurious, elegant mansion and the residence of one of the famous officials of the Qajar court and was later owned by his son Mohsen Moghadam who was a professor of archeology at the University of Tehran and lived there with his wife. They collected many art works and objects (tiles, carved stone pieces, a collection of fabric, Chibouk, smoke pot, hookah, pottery, glass works, paintings, mosaics, coins, historical documents) with the aim of preserving the cultural and historical heritage of Iran.
There are pictures of them there too.
Aside from inside of the historical, elegant building, the outdoor area is also amazingly relaxing and lively.
You can take beautiful pictures there and it’s in walking distance from other tourist attractions since it’s in the center of the old town Tehran.Written 7 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
