Chaharbagh Abbasi Street
خیابان چهارباغ عباسی
A tree-lined avenue planned in the Safavid era, linking the old city with the Si-o-se-pol Bridge; its middle section is now a pedestrian street lined with madrasas, gardens and cafés.
Chaharbagh Avenue was laid out by Shah Abbas I in 1596 as a royal boulevard lined with plane trees, with water channels and flower beds running down its middle. Its southern end connects across the river to the Si-o-se-pol Bridge. Today the northern section, Chaharbagh Abbasi Street, has been turned into a pedestrian street. On either side stand Chaharbagh School, the Nightingale Garden where Hasht Behesht Palace sits, and many shops and cafés. From the Imam Square area, it is about a 20-minute walk south to the Si-o-se-pol Bridge.
