Few places in the world can boast a lineage as old and as storied as Tehran's. Few can boast being so prominently displayed on the world stage, either. Tehran is the capital and heart of Iran, the center of a deeply religious society trying to establish its identity in a world of superpowers. Tehran bustles and teems with culture, food and history.
Shop to your heart's content at the bazaar in Tehran, one of the largest independent marketplaces in the world, and close to many of the city's most luxurious accommodations. Countless items are available in the bazaar, from simple household products to electronics.
Sleep in upscale accommodations surrounding Saei Park for only about $140. It's one of the more colorful sections of the city, with beautiful indigenous plants surrounding well-traveled walkways.
Get a motel room near Amir Kabir Street for the cheapest accommodations in town. You'll find absolutely incredible deals in mid-range hotels (sometimes as low as $5 per person per night).
Arrive in Tehran at Mehrabad International Airport, the main airport serving all of Iran. Flights from Europe are common, as are those from the rest of the Middle East, but none originate in the Americas.
Book accommodations near Tehran's main train station if you're arriving from Istanbul. The train runs continuously year round.
Stay in accommodations near the Metro, Tehran's newest form of mass transit in the city. This will make travel in the city much easier since the roads are clogged with traffic and the bus routes are difficult even for locals.
Dress in appropriate clothing at all times while in Tehran. This is especially true of women. Iran is a Muslim country, and citizens take the proscriptions of their religion very seriously.
Have a guide with you or someone who speaks the local languages (Persian, Kurdish or Azeri). English is not prevalent in Tehran, except at Western-style hotels.
Live like a local and go shopping at either Valiasr Street or Tajrish Square. Both are prominent destinations for souvenirs and deal seekers.
