Park-e Jamshidiyeh
Park-e Jamshidiyeh climbs steeply up the lower reaches of the Alborz Mountains and offers a clean and relatively quiet atmosphere in which to enjoy the views and escape the smog. It's the sort of place you could happily while away an entire afternoon sipping tea and watching the lights of this huge city slowly come to life - though the prices of food might give you indigestion.

Park-e Laleh
Near the centre of Tehran, Park-e Laleh is one of those places that is more than the sum of its parts. Certainly, it is a well-designed green space, but its location amid so much traffic makes the park a real oasis. As you wander through, perhaps on your way to the adjoining Carpet Museum or Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, you'll notice plenty of young Tehranis refining their flirting techniques over soft-serve ice creams. It's a great place for people-watching.

Park-e Mellat
Many Tehranis say Park-e Mellat is their favourite in-town getaway, and if you're here around dusk on any spring or summer afternoon you'll find plenty of people enjoying the shaded areas around a small lake. On weekend nights you'll find just as many young people cruising up and down Valiasr Ave, several to a car, showing off as they flirt and swap phone numbers through car windows.

Park-e Shahr
If you're staying in southern Tehran and need a break from the traffic, head straight for Park-e Shahr where you can go ice skating (when it's cold enough), take a boat trip on the tiny lake (in summer) and enjoy tea or qalyan (water pipe) at the laid-back Sofre Khane Sonnati Sangalag year-round. It's also a great place to just sit and watch Tehranis relaxing.
