A
Tezatre Shahr
The huge, circular Tezatre Shahr is Tehran’s biggest and most impressive theatre and the place you’re most likely to see Iranian stage actors at work – performing in Farsi, of course. The booking staff speak English so call them to find out what’s coming up. Performances are normally at 6.30pm or 7.30pm and cost about IR25,000.

Gandhi Shopping Centre
Home to several cool little cafés peopled largely by young and fairly liberal Tehranis, this is your one-stop café-society stop. It’s a fun place to hang out in the afternoon and evening; just choose a café you like, settle in and then perhaps eat in one of the centre’s upscale restaurants.

Azadi Sports Stadium
Iran’s favourite sport is football (soccer), which is played at several smaller stadiums and the giant-sized, 100,000-capacity Azadi Sports Stadium. Matches are normally played on Thursday and Friday but to find out where, your best bet is to ask a man working in your hotel.

In the lovely gardens of the Film Museum of Iran, this chic café serves a wide range of expensive but very drinkable Italian coffees and light meals. It’s an artsy, international scene.

Ghaem Teahouse
This is an ideal, if somewhat pricey, place from which to watch the people and traffic carnage over tea, qalyan and dates (IR40,000, 4pm to midnight only). It also does the usual range of kababs.
