Tehran

Tehran is easier to like once you stop fighting the traffic. Take the metro, walk the parks and look past the big museums.

These articles do that. They cover the Armenian churches of St Sarkis and St Mary, Honarmandan Park and the Book Garden, the city’s cinemas, art shows, the Tomb of Bibi Shahrbanu in Rey, and getting around without a car. There is also a plain guide for first-time visitors. Our Tehran travel guide covers the main sights.
