The Atlas Lume view

Turquoise-tiled mosques in Isfahan, Persian palaces and one of the region most refined cuisines coexist in a country of deep history. Atlas Lume suggests reading Iran through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Teherán works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Persian, the currency is Rial iraní and the generally recommended time to go is March to May and September to November. Always confirm entry requirements, conditions and services with official sources before travelling.

Always confirm visas, health requirements, timetables and transport conditions with official sources before travelling.
