The square around the tower has recently become a place for citizens to settle down; So it may not be so safe during the night. Also, crossing the street and going to the square is a lot of trouble; Because the traffic laws in Iran are not very favorable; But the tower itself is beautiful and is divided into many rooms, each of which has its own characteristics. Various galleries have been set up around the tower; But a separate ticket is required to visit them. The view from the top is very beautiful.

It is in the center of Tehran and from there you can go to the Grand Bazaar by subway or bus. There are exhibition sections on the ground floor.
3. David Coñuecar from Chile
The best place to take beautiful photos! This memorial reminds us of the Islamic Revolution and is part of Iran’s cultural heritage. The sign and symbol of Iran! It has a very special shape and is like two hands holding each other. This means the power of the Iranian people when united. It is a great and amazing place. It is located in the center of Tehran and has easy access. Because there is a subway a few steps away. Many people can be seen taking pictures, and not only tourists, but also many Iranians who have immortalized themselves with this symbolic monument of freedom.
4. Enrico Simonetta from Italy
It is perhaps the most famous and symbolic spot in Tehran. It’s a little hard to get through the busy roundabout; But definitely worth a visit. The perspective from the bottom up under the arch is very impressive. I visited in June 2019.
5. Silvia Georgieva (Huang John) from Bulgaria
I have friends from Iran, and they all told me many stories about Iran B, as well as Azadi Tower and Freedom Square; So, the first day I went to Iran, I visited this tower. The architecture is amazing. Inside there are flags of different countries and I was very happy to see the Bulgarian flag (of course it was left behind; but I’m not disappointed). There is a conference room in this complex. I am very fascinated by Iran in general.
