Tehran is a crowded capital city of Iran. Many people are rushing on the streets and subways to survive and make a living, But at nights it seems like everyone gives up fighting and just prepares for another day to come. So, if you’re planning to make a visit to Tehran, you’ll find the best of it at nights. I’ll show you how to enjoy nightlife in Tehran.

1- All the Tehran at once from the top of Milad Tower

We’ll begin with a beautiful and iconic view of this enormous city. each time you step on the top of Milad Tower you start wondering about the harsh days and nights of this city. You’ll face the reality of it through dust and light in tens of kilometers.

2- Tehran Cafes at night: A vibe you won’t like to miss

There are no Bars in Iran and alcohol is entirely restricted. You won’t find any public places to drink and dance. But you’ll find many people hanging out in cafes, grabbing some soft drinks and chit chatting. Among these people, you’ll find many who would like to join and begin a conversation with you on sociology, politics, culture, history and etc. Beneath all these talks you’ll see a modern ideology of a young generation seeking for change.

3- Modern Parks and large shopping malls

I know this is what you’re running away from. you want to see something new and more original from Iran, But Tehran is trying hard to be the next modern and developed city in the region and invests a lot on modern facilities. The Nature bridge of Tehran and the Chitgar lake are few of those. You’ll have the chance to see how families take a break at nights in Tehran and if you be lucky you’ll get some delicious street food out there.

4- Street music: an emerging subculture of Tehranian citizens

There were many prohibitions for playing live music on the streets of Tehran But during last year it has become popular. Many professionals are playing in the streets, trying to make a happier society. mostly there are traditional instruments and vocalists.

5- Traditional nights get modern in Darakeh, Farahzad, and Darband!

If you’re a fan of traditional nightlife in Tehran, restaurants in Darakeh, Farahzad, and Darband are the best choices. Best Iranian kebab with live music and traditional snacks made of Iranian nuts and fruits are a small bit of what you can find out there.

6- Holy places and shrines, the celebration of lights and mirrors

I’m a big fan of visiting holy places at nights. The colors of lights reflecting in dozens of mirrors are eye-catching.

7- 30-Tir Street: Enjoy the taste and hanging-out

If you’re looking for some delicious street foods of all kind, you must make a visit to 30-Tir street in Tehran. Out there you’ll find many vans and kiosks selling different kinds of Iranian and International foods at a cheap price. It surely worths a visit.

Beside all these, I’ll strongly suggest finding some online young friends who would show you more on what’s going on beneath the skin of the city at nights.
