The Tehran Grand Bazaar, located in south Tehran, is one of the world’s largest bazaars. It is a great place to shop and you can soak up some local culture while you’re there. It’s open every day except Friday and religious holidays. There is also another bazaar, catering mainly to local communities, in the Tajrish neighbourhood. Located in the north of the capital, it has an endless maze of vaulted alleys where you can find everything from fine carpets to silver – and copperware to exotic aromatic spices. There is a separate section for each trade and craftsmen can be seen at their work.
