Iran | Local Guide Says: "Only 4 Spots a Day in Tehran!"

Why? Traffic will drive you mad! Even avoiding weekends (peak chaos), we barely squeezed in highlights. Here’s our 2-day itinerary: 🗼 Day 1: Icons & History 2️⃣ Azadi Tower Where tradition meets modernity. Open 24/7 (tower access: Sun-Fri 9AM-12PM & 2PM-5PM). Skip the climb—views are standard tower fare. 3️⃣ Former U.S. Embassy The world’s only visitable U.S. embassy—pair with Argo for maximum drama! 5️⃣ Golestan Palace A sprawling Qajar-era complex. Pro tip: Recharge with pomegranate juice at the nearby bazaar. 🏰 Day 2: Royalty & Art 1️⃣0️⃣ Niavaran & Sa’dabad Palaces Northern Tehran’s royal residences (polar bear and tiger pelts included—yikes). 1️⃣2️⃣ Carpet Museum Non-negotiable visit! Jaw-dropping Persian weavings. 1️⃣5️⃣ National Museum of Iran Skip the old wing (tour groups linger there)—the new wing’s lighting and curation are sublime. 1️⃣7️⃣ Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art Closed for installation (sigh), but the brutalist exterior still impressed. #TravelInspo #IranTravel #Tehran #OffbeatDestinations
