From Iranian hipsters and rastafaris to women in their black chadors, pretty girls wearing the headscarf at the edge of their heads, both traditional bazaars and 21st century fashion malls, amazing art galleries and just traffic and chaos everywhere, Tehran is a real metropolis which truly deserves the title of capital, as this is the clearest example of what modern Iran is like and one of the very few Middle Eastern cities where you can actually see urban sub-cultures, only behind Beirut<\/a><\/strong> and, of course, Israeli cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, most travelers tend to skip Tehran in favor of majestic Esfahan, historical Shiraz<\/a><\/strong> or the perfectly shaped old city of Yazd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is that Tehran doesn\u2019t possess their majesty or their long history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, with an excellent backpacker\u2019s hostel recently opened (Heritage Hostel<\/a><\/strong>), beautiful mountains which can almost be reached by metro and plenty of unique sites such as the former U.S. Embassy, today a museum which holds plenty of anti-American propaganda, Tehran may keep you busy for weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most travelers, however, at most, spare just 1 or 2 days for Tehran. I actually visited Tehran for 4 days but, in this article, I will show you a list of things to do in Tehran in only two days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
