Tehran City - Iran
Memoirs of a Tourist
Tehran is the city in Iran where every Iranian wants to live (except perhaps a few Esfahanis). This is the city where it all happens. This is the city where everything is better. Better jobs, better schools, better hospitals, better restaurants, you name it.
So it may be no surprise to you Tehran is very crowded. Twelve million people live here and after one day in Tehran you think you've seen them all.
But even after one day we began to love this city. There is so much here to see and do, you should stay here at least a week to explore all the museums, parks, shops and all the other things Tehran has to offer.
We were here only 3 days, 2 at the beginning and 1 at the end of our tour through Iran.
The Banay-é Azadi (Freedom Monument) is probably the first thing you see when you arrive in Tehran. It's not only close to the airport, it's also very remarkable. The monument was built in 1971 to celebrate the 2500 anniversary of the Iranian Empire. It should be able to enter the building for a view over Tehran and a visit of the Azadi museum, but when we were here everything was closed.
