Tehran

Tehran is a city with a rich culture and friendly people. Many visitors enjoy the food, which is both tasty and affordable. The locals are welcoming and often treat strangers like friends or family. However, it is important to know that Tehran has strict rules, especially about women's clothing, so you will need to wear a hijab. The city does not have much nightlife, and it is safer to stay indoors at night. While public safety is generally good, be careful with your mobile phone in public and consider using a VPN for internet access. For a short visit, Tehran gives a good look at Iranian life, but there can be issues with language, banking, and hygiene. The northern neighborhoods are nicer and worth visiting if you have the budget. Overall, it is a city full of experiences, but it may not be the best place for a long stay.
