Being known as the big capital of Iran with cultural and historical
backgrounds, Tehran is attracting many visitors every year. Tehran has a lot to
offer. From the tourists who seek for a calm vacation spent in city attractions
and comfortable hotels to the adventurers or art lovers find Tehran a great
city to visit. I’ll tell you why:

1. Museums and Qajarid treasure:
Many travelers remember Tehran as the city of museums. National Museum of
Iran, containing more than 300,000 museum objects related to pre-Islam and
post-Islam dynasties, National Jewelry Museum of Iran with a priceless treasury
of Persian Jewelries, the Carpet Museum of Iran and Tehran museum of
contemporary arts are just some of the unique museums of Tehran.
Tehran has been the capital of Iran since Qajarid times and there are many
glorious gardens, palaces and monuments in the city constructed during Qajar
and Pahlavi dynasties. The stunning Golestan palace (registered by the UNESCO),
Mashq square, Saad Abad complex and even very well designed private houses of
Pahlavi days are beautiful remembrances of those days. It is said that it takes
more than a week to explore all the museums and royal monuments of Tehran.

2. Art galleries and theaters:
Tehran is known as the center of contemporary arts in Iran. Every day,
painting, photography, fashion and sculpture exhibitions are held in the
galleries of Tehran. Pop, Classic, Iranian and even Jazz and Rock music
performances are available in different halls and great theaters are played by
Iranian and international groups in the great City theater of Tehran.
Fajr International Art festival, including music, painting, theater and
especially film and animation contests is held every year during February in
Tehran.

3. Nightlife and food in Tehran:
If you are the type of traveler who would love to get acquainted with young
generation and the modern lifestyle in Iran, stop by the cafés and restaurants
of Tehran where the young people usually spend their cold winter afternoons.
I’m sure you will notice the opposite of what you have heard about Iranian
lifestyle. You will see the young boys and girls interacting and having fun
happily just like everywhere else in the world. You can make new Iranian
friends and offer yourself standard and up to date coffees and snacks. But I
highly recommend you to treat yourself with Iranian cuisines and sherbets in Persian
restaurants and have a whole new world of taste!

4. Dizin Ski Resort:
A great experience you can have in Iran is a memorable ski tour in a very
high-quality resort in the north of Tehran, in the Alborz mountain range! Dizin
Ski Resort with fantastic powdery snow is the most important one in Iran and
the Middle East with standard gondola, warm hotels and cottages and a very
happy and active atmosphere!
The ski season in Dizin lasts from December until May which is considered
as a long time!
