This wasn’t far from the Tehran Bazaar & Iman Khomeini Mosque; which we saw in the morning. Had lunch in a park to get away from the traffic; general pollution & business of the city.
The Golestan Palace (built in the 19th century) complete with mirrored halls & a massive marble throne was then visited, as well as the National Museum of Iran which had endless archaeological treasures.
Struggled quite a bit to find any sense of nightlife in Tehran, eventually ended up in the newer part of town, with shops, fast food and a few restaurants, so then got the underground metro back to our hotel, where lots more Iranians wanted to chat to us.
Spent another day in Tehran 2day and took in the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art which had a very impressive exhibition on. Have been more successful on finding good shopping and eating areas and sampled dizi (a traditional Iranian stew) for tea.
