Park-e Shahr

Tehran


If you’re staying in southern Tehran and need a break from the traffic, head straight for this pleasant, leafy park where you can take a boat trip on the pond (in summer), see various birds, including peacocks, silver pheasants and flamingos in enclosures, and enjoy tea or qalyan at the Sofre Khane Sonnati Sangalag teahouse. Or just sit and relax watching Tehranis relaxing.
