Getting there & away

Train
The 1106km line from Tehran has recently been extended to Bam and should run all the way into Pakistan by 2009. The daily train to Tehran (1st class IR63, 150; 15 hours) leaves at 4.45pm and stops at Yazd, Kashan and Qom, but not Esfahan. There are also daily 2nd-class trains to Bam (IR10, 000, about two hours, 7.30am) and Yazd (IR16, 000, five to six hours, 1pm), which make a pleasant break from all the bus travel.
Train tickets can be bought from Parse Owj or other agencies, saving you the trip to the train station (211 0762), 8km southwest of town. Shuttle taxis (IR2000) leave from Azadi Sq for the station, or go dar baste for IR10, 000.
Air
Iran Air (245 7770; Dr Mofatteh St) and Mahan Air (245 0542; Dr Beheshti St) both fly daily to Tehran (one way IR457, 000) and Mahan Air also flies to Esfahan (IR335, 000, weekly), Kish (IR362, 000, twice weekly) and Zahedan (IR258, 000, weekly).
