   - An absolute MUST ...

   Taq-e Bostan grottoes are an absolute must.

10. 4.5 Takieh Mo’aven ol-Molk (37 reviews)
    - Most interesting in the city
    Saturday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
    
    
    The first time we went there was past 4pm, so it was a futile attempt to really explore the place. We went back the following day, early in the morning, and we couldn't be more in a better time --- the morning sunlight illuminates the stained glass window in the main chamber and it was such a beauty to behold. The scenes depicted in its Qajar period tileworks are very impressive. There are several details there worth noting, including the footprint of the Imam Reza mounted on the walls of the garden. The museum is dusty but it served its purpose. The collection is interesting and would merit some 20 minutes of a visitor's time. The bazaar is not so far away as well, and checking out both would be a good half day activity. See more..
