Teheran - Tehran

Teheran (također se piše teheranski) (Perzijski: تهران), glavni je grad Iran. Užurbana metropola sa 14 milijuna ljudi, smjestila se u podnožju visokog planinskog lanca Alborz.

Zračni pogled na Teheran

Shvati

Teheran je kozmopolitski grad, s izvrsnim muzejima, parkovima, restoranima i toplim ljubaznim ljudima. Zaslužuje barem nekoliko dana vašeg iranskog puta.

Grad se može grubo podijeliti na dva dijela - sjeverni i južni. Sjeverni okruzi Teherana su prosperitetniji, moderni, kozmopolitski i skuplji, dok su južni dijelovi manje atraktivni, ali jeftiniji.

U vrijeme dinastije Zand to je bio gradić koji je bio važan sa strateške točke gledišta. Prvi od Qajar kraljeva, Agha Mohammed Khan, imenovao je Teheran glavnim gradom te zemlje 1778. godine, a većina njegovog rasta započela je za vrijeme vladavine narednog Qajar monarha, Fath-Ali Shaha. Dvorac koji je Agha Mohammed Khan sagradio trebao je sadržavati nove veličanstvene zgrade.

Istodobno se gradsko stanovništvo udvostručilo. Zbog sve većeg značaja grada, izgrađena su vrata, trgovi i džamije, a u vrijeme Nassereddin Shaha pripremljena je glavna gradska skica i izgrađene moderne ulice. Kasnije su izgrađeni ogromni središnji trgovi poput trga Toopkhaneh (danas imam Homeini) i podosta vojnih zgrada. Iako je dinastija Qajar bila u padu, Teheran je ubrzo dobio oblik modernog grada. Pokrenuta je struktura velikih vladinih zgrada, novih ulica, rekreacijskih centara, urbanih uslužnih organizacija te akademskih i metodičkih centara, iako je većina starih vrata i zgrada uništena, a staro gradsko arhitektonsko tkivo zamijenjeno suvremenim.

Teheran je također zaradio nezavidnu reputaciju punjenja smoga, prometno začepljenog i beskorisnog širenja betona koji puca po šavovima s 14 milijuna stanovnika. Ali možete pronaći i beskrajan broj lijepih i ugodnih mjesta u gradu i oko njega - ako znate gdje potražiti. Teheran je grad s više od 800 parkova, sve njegovano. Grad je visok gotovo kilometar iznad razine mora, a kao rezultat toga hladniji je od ostalih gradova na Bliskom Istoku. Ipak, ljetne temperature su vrlo vruće, u srpnju u prosjeku iznose 33 ° C (91 ° F) i često prelaze 38 ° C (100 ° F). Zrak je vrlo suh.

Kombinacija čimbenika čini Teheran ugodnim mjestom za posjetu: suha klima koja je navečer hladna, blizina planina, parkova i vrtova u kojima cvijeće cvjeta tijekom cijele godine, drvoredi na drvoredima ili čak manji ulice, pa čak i voda koja se s gornjeg grada spušta niz duboke i široke žlijebove koji tijekom proljeća izgledaju poput malih rijeka. Poligon Alborz na sjeveru Teherana, koji je domaćin najvišeg vrha Irana, zimi nudi fantastične uvjete za ljubitelje skijanja. Zimi su planinski hoteli i skijaški klubovi u Shemshaku i Dizine puni nekoliko dana u tjednu. Neki skijaši specijalisti smatraju da je vrijednost snijega na sjeveru Teherana jedna od najizvrsnijih na svijetu.

Avionom

35.411351.152691 Međunarodna zračna luka Imam Homeini (IKA ^IATA) (55 km jugozapadno od centra grada, željeznička stanica Robat Karim (ایستگاه راه آهن رباط کریم) oko 3 km sjeverozapadno u blizini linije 1 'Kahrizak' ~ 20 km SI). Jedina zračna luka u Teheranu do koje prometuju međunarodni putnički letovi. (ažurirano u studenom 2016)

Kopneni prijevoz:

• Metro Najjednostavniji način doći do središta grada je linijom metroa. Linija broj 8 povezuje aerodromski terminal A s metro linijom 1 (crvena linija) (75000 rijala, koji se mogu koristiti za potpunu mrežu, ožujak 2019.). Neregularno vozi: 06:50, 08:10, 09:30, 10:50, 12:10, 13:30, 14:50, 16:10, 17:30, 18:50, 20:10.
• Autobusi između zračne luke i grada (npr. stanica metroa Haram) vozite svakih 30-60 min 07: 00-23: 00. Oni odlaze točno ispred glavnog izlaza i koštaju 20.000-30.000 riala. Postoje nepotvrđena izvješća o autobusu koji vozi između IKIA-e i zračne luke Mehrabad svakih 4-5 sati.
• Taksiji koštati fiksnu stopu od 800.000 riala (ili 25 USD ili 20 EUR od listopada 2017.), pitajte na taksi šalteru. Vožnja do / od centra grada traje 45 minuta bez prometa, ali može potrajati i više od 90 minuta s prometom. Kabina za organizaciju taksija nalazi se odmah ispred dvorane za dolaske. Također se možete cjenkati s taksijem koji putnike zaustavlja u dolaznoj dvorani jer bi se u protivnom morali vratiti prazni u Teheran. Taksiji do najbliže stanice metroa (Haram-e-Motahhar) koštaju 500.000 riala.
• Taksi prijevoz i zeleni minibus prometuju između zračne luke i stanice Shahed na crvenoj liniji metroa. Ovo može biti prikladna opcija za odlazak do zračne luke iz grada, ali pronalazak shuttle taksija u zračnoj luci bit će teško jer se mnogi tu ne zaustavljaju. Sa 7000 riala za kartu za metro i 40.000 riala za shuttle taksi (pokušat će vam otkinuti ili naplatiti unošenje prtljage čak i ako ima mjesta, pa pripazite da zauzmete samo jedno mjesto ako ne želite platiti ekstra), vjerojatno je to najjeftinija opcija iz grada koja ne zahtijeva dugo čekanje autobusa (shuttle taksiji odlaze kad su puni). Na stanici Shahed izađite na parkiralište (izlaz je samo jedan i ne možete ga propustiti) i sasvim lijevo vidjet ćete zelene minibuse. Od tamo do zračne luke treba oko 30-40 min. Posljednji polazak kreće oko 21:30.
• Metro linija 1 (crvena) Danju postoji metro od IKA do Teherana. Vlakovi voze svaki sat pa provjerite raspored (rujan 2017.).

35.6909751.318682 Teheranska zračna luka Mehrabad (THR ^IATA). Mehrabad se koristi samo za domaće i teretne letove. Povezan je s teheranskom metro linijom 4. (ažurirano rujna 2016)

Unatoč upozorenjima u nekim turističkim vodičima, za inozemne putnike nema naknade za izlaz, ni u Mehrabadu ni u zračnoj luci Imam Homeini. The izlazna naknada odnosi se na strane putnike samo kad napuštaju Iran kopnom ili morem.

Vlakom

Dnevno vozi barem jedan vlak (neki preko noći) iz iranskih gradova kao što su Mešhad, Isfahan, Tabriz, Kerman, Yazd, Sari, Gorgan, Ahvaz i Bandar Abbas. Domaće karte mogu se kupiti na bilo kojoj postaji, u putničkim agencijama ili putem Interneta s različitih web stranica željezničkih prijevoznika, kao što su Raja, Fadak, BonRail^{[mrtva veza]}, Joopari Behtarinsafar. Također biste mogli koristiti jedan od iranskih OTA-a za kupnju karata putem interneta. Alibaba preporuča se.

Međunarodni vlak iz Ankara, Transasia Express, vozi dva puta tjedno. Postoji dodatni međunarodni vlak iz Kombi preko Tabriz također.

• 35.6579851.397793 Željeznička stanica u Teheranu (ايستگاه راه آهن تهران) (Najbliža metro stanica je Rahahan). (ažurirano kolovoza 2019)

Automobilom

Promet je vrlo zagušen, ali se poboljšao završetkom nekoliko novih tunela i autocesta (koje lokalno stanovništvo naziva autobanama) kroz grad. Možete se prilično lako dovesti iz Turske i južnih dijelova Irana. Iako je Iran uvijek imao velik broj prometnih nesreća, policija je suzbila nesreće i vožnja je sada sigurnija nego prije. Moguće je unajmiti automobil na aerodromu IKA, Mehrabadu i u gradu.

Ako ćete koristiti ceste i zemaljski prijevoz, na raspolaganju vam je web mjesto koje održava vladino Ministarstvo prometa i urbanog razvoja ovdje ili ovdje koja objavljuje statuse cesta. Možda ćete trebati koristiti Google prevoditelj za razumijevanje teksta prilikom kretanja stranicama.

Autobusom

Gotovo svaki grad i udaljeno selo u Iranu ima autobusne linije do Teherana - stotine autobusa koji se svakodnevno ulijevaju i izlaze iz glavnog grada. Većina autobusa dolazi na jedan od četiri glavna autobusna kolodvora:

• 35.7008551.330654 Zapadni autobusni kolodvor (Terminal-e-gharb, autobusni kolodvor Azadi), Sjeverozapadno od kule Azadi (10 minuta hoda sjeverozapadno od trga Azadi i nekoliko minuta hoda sjeverno od stanice podzemne željeznice Azadi Square). Najveći, najprometniji i najopremljeniji od teheranskih terminala. Većina međunarodnih autobusa, kao i oni koji idu prema regiji Kaspijskog mora i odredištima zapadno od Teherana, ovdje potječu i završavaju. Autobus za Jerevan košta 1.800.000 riala i kreće svakodnevno u 13:00. (ažurirano srpnja 2016)
• 35.7233351.521495 Istočni autobusni kolodvor (Terminal-e-shargh) (7 km sjeverozapadno od trga Emam Hossein). Rukuje autobusima iz provincije Khorasan i nekoliko usluga sa sjevera.  
• 35.6493851.418536 Južni autobusni kolodvor (Terminal-e-jonoob), Morsali, (vozite linijom podzemne željeznice 1 do stanice Terminal-e-Jonoob, a zatim podzemnom željeznicom prijeđite istočno do autobusnog terminala). Služi odredištima južno od Teherana, na pr. Kashan, Qom, Isfahan i Shiraz. Cijena karte za Isfahan oko 300.000 rijala i 600.000 rijala za Shiraz. (ažurirano srpnja 2016)
• 35.7376151.417417 Autobusni kolodvor Beihaghi (Terminal-e-beihaghi, Shahvand Beihaghi), pokraj Arzhantinova trga (oko 1,5 km jugozapadno od stanice metroa Line 1 Mossallah (zajednički taksi do terminala koštao je 10 000 riala u rujnu 2016.) ili sjeverozapadno od stanice metroa Shahid Beheshti). Stanica ima usluge iz većine glavnih odredišta u Iranu, uključujući Mešhad, Esfahan, Rasht, Shiraz, Tabriz i Yazd. Karta iz Esfahana košta 255.000 riala (rujan 2016.). (ažurirano rujna 2016)

Zaobiđi se

35 ° 41′15 ″ S 51 ° 25′17 ″ E

Zaobići prometno zakrčen, prostran Teheran pravi je test strpljenja. Iako su vam taksiji najbolje da se okladite, oni su ovdje skuplji od ostatka zemlje. Velika lokalna autobusna mreža odvest će vas gotovo kamo god trebate ići, sve dok možete razumjeti rute i brojeve perzijskih linija. Prava zvijezda teheranskog prometnog sustava je, međutim, metro.

Autobusom

Teheran ima jeftinu, ali zbunjujuću autobusnu mrežu. Nekima je potrebna pretplaćena beskontaktna kartica (min. 5000 riala), koju možete kupiti u kabinama pored autobusnih stajališta i metro stanica koje se koriste kad izađete iz autobusa, a neke treba platiti gotovinom (u rasponu od 1.000-4.000 riala). Autobusi su podijeljeni u dva dijela, samo za muškarce (prednji dio) i samo za žene (stražnji dio).

U BRT redovima, dio samo za žene nalazi se naprijed. Također, naknada se plaća na stanici, koristeći unaprijed plaćenu beskontaktnu karticu (podijeljenu s Metroom) ili plaćajući čuvaru.

Budući da su brojevi autobusa, opisi ruta i ostali podaci na perzijskom, najbolje je izgledati zbunjeno na autobusnom kolodvoru; mještanin će zasigurno stati da pomogne. Svaka autobusna linija ima određenu i gotovo nepromjenjivu stazu, ali samo ljudi točno znaju koji autobusni kolodvori postoje za određenu cestu. Ne biste trebali očekivati ​​kartu ili vodiče čak ni na perzijskom jeziku koji pokazuju autobusnu mrežu ili autobusne stanice. Ni pitanje vozača autobusa ne bi vam bilo od velike pomoći da se snađete. Ako uđete u autobus i tražite određenu stanicu za silazak, zamolite jednu da vam pomogne - većinu vremena ćete pronaći mnoge ljude koji će vam pomoći da se snađete.

Autobus za brzi prijevoz (BRT)

BRT autobusi obojeni su u crveno. BRT ima posebne linije i vrlo brzo putuje s trga Azadi (zapadno od Teherana) izravno na istok (Terminal-e-Shargh). Željeznički trg (južno od Teherana) izravno na sjeveru (trg Tajrish). Trg Azadi do slobodnog sveučilišta (sjeverozapad). Trg Azadi do Južnog terminala i most na mostu (sjeverno od Teherana) do trga jomhuri. Košta 1.000-3.000 riala. U prometno radno vrijeme (07: 00-09: 00 i 16: 00-20: 00), to je najbolji način putovanja. BRT ima mnogo stanica u blizini glavnih ulica. Iako u gužvi možda nećete naći prazno mjesto u autobusu, ljudi vam ustupaju mjesto ako znaju da ste turist. Ženska i muška mjesta i redovi su odvojeni.

Podzemnom željeznicom

Teheranski metro

Teheranski metro sustav ima sedam linija koje će vas brzo prebaciti s jednog kraja grada na drugi, a da se ne morate nositi s bukom, zagađenjem i kaosom prometa u Teheranu. Međutim, mnogi su stanovnici odlučili napustiti automobile i putovati metroom, pa očekuju velike gužve u špice.

Postoji sedam linija, ali dvije su najkorisnije linije 1 (sjever prema jugu - od stanice Tajrish do stanice Haram-e-Motahar) i 2 (istok prema zapadu) koje se povezuju na središnjoj postaji Imam Homeini. Sve stanice imaju natpise na perzijskom i engleskom jeziku. Vlakovi voze svakih 10 minuta ili manje u špice (15 minuta petkom i praznicima) od oko 05:30 do 23:00 svaki dan.

Linija 6 (ružičasta linija) otvorena je u travnju 2019. od trga Shohada na liniji 4 do mjesta Dowlat Abad. Otvorena je jedna međustanica. Ostatak pruge i njegove stanice još su u izgradnji.

Ulaznice vrijede za 1 ili 2 putovanja (uključujući promjenu linija) i koštaju 10.000 riala za jedan (ožujak 2019). Na svakoj stanici postoje kabine za prodaju karata. Također možete kupiti beskontaktnu karticu karte, što je najbolja opcija ako ćete puno koristiti metro ili ako želite imati manje muke tako što ćete platiti 50.000 riala za karticu i koristiti je u metrou i nekim gradskim autobusima (ako koristite ovu karticu, obično plaćate manje od bilo koje druge karte jer naplaćuju najduže putovanje na mreži). Na svakom kraju vlaka nalaze se dva vagona samo za žene. Žene ionako mogu odabrati putovanje drugim kočijama, ali rijetko to čine.

Postoji nekoliko aplikacija za Android i iOS uređaje koji pomažu putnicima u korištenju metroa. Možete pokušati preuzeti Teheranski metro aplikacija koja je stvorena za strane putnike. Prvo se možete naći na Google mapi (s označenim stanicama) i odredištu kako biste odlučili u koju ćete stanicu moći ući i na koju želite stići. Nakon nje možete ih odabrati na karti stanica kako biste dobili tekstualno objašnjenje o upućivanju i promjenama linija zajedno s procjenom vremena putovanja.

Taksijem

Stari taksiji

Kao i u ostatku zemlje, u Teheranu ima puno privatnih i zajedničkih taksija, iako će vam možda biti teže označavati zajednički taksi usred prometa i kaosa, dok su privatni taksiji skuplji nego u manjim gradovima. Pogledajte informacije o zaobilaženju na Iran za detalje o označavanju taksija. Ako se želite kretati zajedničkim taksijem, najbolje je da skačete od kvadrata do kvadrata, jer vas vozači neće htjeti pokupiti ako vaše izvikivano odredište previše odstupa od njihove rute. Na svakom ćete trgu pronaći određena mjesta na kojima se privatni taksi postavljaju u red i vozači pozivaju putnike na odredište. (uglavnom se događa u vrijeme kada broj taksija koji čekaju premašuje broj putnika). U tom bi slučaju čekali dok se automobil ne napuni putnicima (uglavnom jedna osoba sprijeda i 3 osobe straga, isključujući vozača). Inače se ljudi moraju poredati u redu čekajući da taksiji dođu. To je slučaj u vrijeme špica (približno 07: 00-08: 00 i 17: 00-20: 00). Sve to ovisi o tome da na trgu nađu svoju redovnu stanicu. Možete ih zamoliti i da prije siđu nego vaše odredište gdje god želite, ali morate platiti njihovu ukupnu naknadu do odredišta. Cijena takve vožnje od trga Azadi do trga Vanak iznosi oko 10.000 riala za svaku osobu. Većina vozača ipak jako slabo govori engleski jezik.

Teheranski hibridni taksi

Snapp je također iranska verzija Uber u Teheranu koji je prilično jeftin i cijena se izračunava unaprijed. Aplikaciju možete preuzeti s Trgovina Google Play i Apple App Store^{[mrtva veza]} i dostupan je na engleskom i francuskom, ali za aktivaciju potrebna mu je lokalna SIM kartica. Iako vozači možda ne govore dobro engleski, linija za podršku dobro govori engleski jezik i može se nositi s komunikacijskim problemima između vas i vozača.

Motociklistički taksiji specijalitet su Teherana i nude način brzog provlačenja kroz gradske prometne prometne ulice. Vidjet ćete mnoštvo ovih vozača kako stoje sa strane ceste i pozivaju "motor" kod svih koji prolaze. Motorni taksi operateri mogu izgledati čak i samoubilačnije od prosječnog teheranskog vozača. Dogovorite se o cijeni prije poletite i očekujete da ćete platiti nešto manje od najma privatnog taksija.

For information on Iranian currency see Iran#Buy.

You can exchange your currency in most banks after filling out between two and five forms, but the exchange rate in exchange offices (sarraafis) is always better than what is offered by banks. It is much advisable to go to one of these 35.695851.42021 money exchange offices at Ferdosi Ave (close to Jewels Museum). Such offices can also be found in other parts of the city, but are far more scattered. Ask them to show you a copy of their license, issued by the Central Bank of the country and/or the local guild. A list of licensed sarraafis of the whole country, in Persian (Farsi), can be found ovdje. This list includes phone numbers and addresses as well as license numbers and dates.

Also, most exchange offices in Tehran don't exchange before 09:00, when the daily rate gets fixed.

Do not exchange your money with one of the many individuals offering to exchange along Ferdosi St. It is much riskier and illegal. They might be criminals offering counterfeit money.

As for March 2019, exchange offices in Tehran were not exchanging, and they announced lower rate than at the airport. The best rate was (surprisingly) at the airport, and higher than stated at XE Currency Exchange. Accommodation can be paid in euros, so you do not need to exchange all the money for the trip. In March 2019, they were changing 151,000-153,000 rials for €1; 170,000-173,000 rials for £1; 139,000 rials for US$1 (dollar rate as of 26 Apr 2019) - at the airport, first floor (departures).

Bazaars and shopping malls

Posjetiti Bazaar, very appropriate for shopping. It ranges from cheap things to very expensive luxury things. You can find almost anything in the Bazaar, from clothing to carpets, kitchen accessories, decorations, jewellery....

Postoje i brojni shopping malls in the city. Valiasr Street and Tajrish Square (also includes a traditional bazaar) are two of the many locations full of shopping centres in Tehran.

• 35.674651.42022 Grand Bazaar of Tehran (بازار), Panzdah-e-Khordad St (0.5 km SE from metro Panzdah-e-khordad. Ask for Zaid Mosque (امامزاده زید) at Northern limit of the Bazaar). Wander around Tehran's massive bazaar. The main entrance on 15 Khordad Ave leads to a labyrinth of stalls and shops that were once the engine room of Iran's commodity markets and one of Imam Khomeini's greatest sources of conservative, pro-Revolution support. As usual, shops are clustered according to the products they sell. If you're planning on heading out into remote areas, the bazaar is an ideal and cheap place to stock up on almost anything you need.

• 35.7977351.41285 Palladium Mall, Moqadas Ardabili St (BRT Line 7, Homayooni stop (همایونی)). The confectionery shop next to the supermarket is perfect for shopping souvenir sweets. Though on the pricey side by Iranian standards, the quality of the sweets is also high. Look out for the Tehranis who are wearing traditional black chadoors; they are a distinct minority among the well-to-do clientele of this ultra-modern mall.

Due to Iran's refusal to sign the Bern Convention, the sale of pirated software is legal in the country. However, bringing the software home is likely to be illegal and may carry large fines or jail sentences if caught. The software might also not include the correct ID keys and therefore might not work on your computer. Buyer beware!

Places where pirated software is for sale include the bazaar at the corner of Vali-e-Asr Avenue and Enghelab Avenue, Bazar-e-Reza, Bazar-e-Iran, and the "Paytakht Computer Complex", a modern complex of seven storeys filled with computer equipment at the intersection of Vali-e-Asr and Mirdamad. The prices at the "Bazaar Reza" (at Charrah-e-Vali-e-Asr) are usually cheaper. Some of the computer equipment that is sold in Iran are cheap knockoffs.

Spavati

The old-styled Mosaferkhanehs and budget hotels are often low quality and overpriced. The reason is that Iran has had very limited exposure to the outside world. In many low budget places there are no European toilets or even no toilet paper and staff can be rather unfriendly with no English-speaking ability. However, a couple of modern hostels have opened in Tehran.

Considering that the population of Tehran is around 15 million, it is still one of the safer cities to visit in global terms. Violent crime is rare and exercising common sense and taking the usual precautions against pickpockets in crowded areas should ensure a hassle-free visit. Most areas are safe even late at night, although it is not advisable to take a private taxi at 02:00 for example (but the lack of public nightlife means that few tourists would be out at that time in the first place). South Tehran (or the areas south of the Tehran Bazaar) is the only area that should really be avoided after dark, as some of the more deprived neighborhoods are there.

Traffic in Tehran is very dangerous and should be considered to be among the worst in the world. Even though crossing the street might at first seem impossible, drivers usually do a very good job avoiding pedestrians. Still, try to cross the street when the locals do as there is safety in numbers. The rate of traffic accidents is disturbingly high, so faith should not be put on drivers' skills alone.

Traffic congestion is very acute in Tehran and driving habits are dangerous. Exercise extreme caution when crossing the street.

The fake police that have traditionally targeted tourists in Esfahan have also found their way to Tehran. These are usually uniformed men in unmarked cars flashing fake IDs and requesting to see your passport or to search through your luggage. You should ignore such requests and head to the nearest police station ("kalantari") if you feel unsafe. However, it can be somewhat hard for the untrained eye to tell these apart from real police.

If you decide to smoke the qalyan (waterpipe or hubble-bubble), make sure that you are not unintentionally smoking opium or any other kind of drug. Iako drugs and alcohol are illegal in Iran, it is not impossible to get them, especially in Tehran. The government has banned smoking qalyan and cigarettes in public places, so finding a good place to smoke can be a challenge. If you really want to try the qalyan, do it only at a qahvekhane recommended by a Western guidebook or travel website.

The traffic in Tehran is horrendous. To get a break from it, head to the parks in the north of the city.

The holiday town of Ramsar is about five hours away, and the drive across the Alborz Mountains is spectacular. A taxi round-trip for a day shouldn't set you back more than 500,000 rials (ask for taxis near Azadi Square).
