Baharestan

Historic Baharestan is a cultural hub, home to the National Art Museum and its collection of masterpieces and archaeological relics, and the Saba Home Museum, where the classical musician Abolhasan Saba once lived. Traditional restaurants line Jomhouri Avenue, not far from bustling Baharestan Square and the ornate 19th-century Masoudieh Palace. Specialty clothing and shoe stores draw fashionistas.
