Golestan Palace is one of the most magnificent palaces in Iran, which is listed as the UNESCO World Heritage site, and its unique and stunning design has made it one of the most popular sights in Tehran. Golestan Palace complex is a beautiful combination of original Iranian garden and Iranian-European architecture that you will see elements of Western architecture everywhere in the palace. Golestan Palace should be called “Golestan Palace Collection”; Because there are several mansions in this complex that can be mentioned: Marble Throne (Takht e Marmar), Karim Khani Nook (Khalvat e Karim Khani), 

 Mirror Hall (Talar e Aineh), Salam Hall (Talar e Salam), Building of Windcatchers (Emarat e Badgir), Edifice of the Sun (Shams ol Emareh), Photographic archive and…

Mirror Hall, a miracle of light, color, shine, and repetition; till you are not here, you wouldn’t experience the sweet feeling of its glory. All these are just a few manifestations of the beauty of Golestan Palace that can’t be found anywhere else. All these are just a few manifestations of the beauty of Golestan Palace that can’t be found anywhere else.

Make your way to the Grand Bazaar. The entrance of Grand Bazaar welcomes you.

One of the most important economic sectors in Iran is the Tehran Grand Bazaar, which is considered one of the most important historical monuments of Iran in terms of history and architecture. Because the architecture of the entire Tehran bazaar has always been changing throughout history, it is not possible to attribute a specific architectural style to it, and due to various renovations and the addition of new parts, the architecture of this structure has changed a lot over time. 

 One of the characteristics of this market is the existence of different businesses. One of the parts of this market is its restaurants, and today you are going to have a delicious lunch in one of them.

Nature bridge or Pol- e- Tabiat: The design of this bridge is a combination of traditional Iranian architectural styles and contemporary architecture.

Bridges have always been one of the most remarkable and important historical monuments for Iranian. Isfahan, Iran’s top tourist destination, boasts two spectacular bridges (Khaju and Si O Se Pol bridges) from the 16th century Safavid dynasty when the city was at the center of Islamic art and culture. Tabiat Bridge is reminiscent of Isfahan’s bridges which are a place for public meetings, poetry reading, and traditional tea houses. Nature Bridge is the largest in Iran. Built on three large pillars, the 270-meter curved structure has broad entrances, multiple pathways, and three floors of restaurants and cafes, and sitting areas.

Since the columns of this structure, which are designed in the form of intertwined branches, are located in spaces where the fewest trees are located, it is considered an environmentally friendly bridge and there are some reasonable reasons for naming this bridge as Nature (Tabiat): Tree form of columns and the conjunction of two green spaces (connects Ab-o Atash Park and Taleqani Forest Park).

 Watching the view of the capital of Iran from the natural bridge is one of those activities that you will surely enjoy.

Your next stop is Milad Tower, where you have the opportunity for a photo stop at the tallest building in the capital. Milad Tower, is the symbol of Tehran, is the sixth tallest telecommunication tower in the world with an area of ​​13,000 square meters.

Day 3: Tehran-Kashan-Isfahan 

Leaving Tehran behind, your first stop this morning will be in Kashan. A city full of mystery and beauty; a spectacular city that evokes the culture and history of Iran with its historical houses. Walk in the back alleys of Kashan and get intoxicated by the fragrant smell of soil, the beauty of the historic houses, and the vibrancy of its spectacular gardens. You will begin your tour by visiting Fin Garden. Kashan Fin Garden is known as a representative among Iranian gardens. it has all the main elements of Iranian architecture such as pavilions, fountains, and the sound of water passing, towering trees, and high walls. There is a little pool in one of the buildings that people drop their coins inside it for fulfilling their dreams. This is just an old belief, but I recommend you to do it. That is based on principles of aesthetics and conceptualism. 

 The historical Fin garden was built during the Safavid period, but according to some historical documents, it dates back to the time of Al-Buwayh. Fin Bath, which is located in this Garden, is reminiscent of the assassination of Amir Kabir and you can see sculptures related to this event there.

Next up is Boroujerdi House. The story of this building remains like a love legend. The love story of one of the famous merchants of Kashan during the Qajar period (who was known as Boroujerdi due to his many trips to Boroujerd) to the daughter of one of the famous merchants of the city, caused him to build a building that would become famous and special for many years. This monument dates back to the Qajar period. Boroujerdi house consists of two parts, inner (Andarouni, private quarters) and outer ( Birouni, the public area ), which are completely separate. But in addition to the interior and exterior, this building can be divided into two parts, summer, and winter. The whole building has two floors and only the southern part has three floors. The whole building is made of raw clay and has been given a special beauty by using the art of plastering. The most important feature of the Boroujerdi house is its symmetrical and extremely beautiful windbreaks. Structures that played an important role in cooling a building in the heart of the desert.

Then, we will continue the road to reach Isfahan (Half of the world). The next place to visit is Bridges of Isfahan (Si-o-Se Pol & Khaju). Khajoo Bridge is an architectural masterpiece from the Safavid era. that is 133 meters long, 12 meters wide. Materials such as brick, stone, and mortar have been used in their construction.

Si-o-Se-Pol Bridge has a strange connection with the Zayandeh Rud (River). Because the beautiful, majestic, and roaring Zayandeh River in the middle of Isfahan, has separated the north and south of this city. Si-o-Se-Pol is architectural masterpieces. Not only because it corresponds to the number 33 in this Zoroastrian religion, but also because of the view it has given to the Zayandeh River and made it a symbol of Isfahan. The architect of Si-o-Se-pol Bridge is Hossein Bana Isfahani, whose son Mohammad Reza Isfahani had made masterpieces such as Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in his record.

Walking on the bridge and watching the sunset and listening to the sound of street musicians or teenage males singing are some of the favorite tourist activities. After that, you will be transferred to your hotel. Overnight Isfahan
