Tehran, Iran's sprawling capital below the Alborz peaks, with the Golestan Palace, museums and a lively Grand Bazaar.

📍 Destination Overview

Tehran, Iran's capital and largest city, lies beneath the snow-capped Alborz mountains, gateway for most visitors. Though bustling and modern, it holds the UNESCO-listed Golestan Palace and the National Jewelry Museum's staggering royal treasures. Vast bazaars hum with everyday life, cable cars climb Mount Tochal, and the Azadi Tower rises above—a window into Iran's history and present.
