Planning your two days

Without knowing which specific sights you want to see, the general approach that works for most weekend trips: pick one major sight per morning and one per afternoon rather than packing in more, leave real time for food and just walking around, and book timed-entry tickets in advance for anything popular so you're not queueing on a short trip. Staying centrally — close to your must-see list — saves more time on a 2-day trip than a cheaper hotel further out.

FAQs — Weekend in Tehran

A weekend is enough to see a handful of major sights and get a feel for the city, though obviously not everything — how much you fit in depends on how compact the city centre is and how far your hotel is from the main sights.
