Where is Milad Tower?
Milad Tower stands in western Tehran, between several of the city’s major expressways and near the Gisha district. The location is easy to identify on the skyline and is served by Milad Tower station on Tehran Metro Line 7. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also practical options.
For wider transport planning, see the Tehran Metro guide. Travelers can also use Google Maps for current directions.
How tall is Milad Tower?
Milad Tower is 435 meters tall from its base to the top of the antenna mast. Its scale makes it a defining feature of Tehran’s modern skyline and an important telecommunications structure as well as a visitor attraction.
Observation areas and attractions
Visitors typically come for the observation levels and panoramic city views. The upper structure has several public and cultural spaces, while the wider complex has hosted restaurants, exhibitions and recreational attractions. Availability can change, so avoid planning a visit around a specific attraction without checking current information first.
Museums and cultural spaces
Milad Tower has included museum and exhibition spaces within its upper levels. Displays and access can change over time, so treat older lists of individual exhibits as historical rather than guaranteed visitor information.
Practical tips for visiting
- Check current opening hours and ticket options on the official website before setting out.
- For clearer city views, choose a day with good visibility; Tehran’s air quality can significantly affect the panorama.
- Allow extra time at busy periods because access to upper levels depends on elevators.
- Combine the tower with other modern Tehran sights such as Tabiat Bridge or use the Tehran travel guide to plan a wider itinerary.
