Park-e Laleh

Near the centre of Tehran, Park-e Laleh is a well-designed green space that because of its location amid so much traffic becomes an urban oasis. It’s a great place for people-watching. As you wander through, perhaps on your way to the adjoining Carpet Museum or Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, keep an eye out for young Tehranis refining their flirting techniques over soft-serve ice creams.
