Sa'dabad Complex
مجموعه سعدآباد
A summer palace garden of the Pahlavi dynasty on the foothills north of the city, with the White Palace, Green Palace, and more than ten museums scattered through the woods.
This hillside garden in the northern Shemiran district covers about 110 hectares, with more than ten palaces built during the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties. Must-see sites include the White Palace (National Palace), with its large carpets and crystal chandeliers, and the Green Palace, with its mirrored decorations. There are also an art museum and a royal carriage museum. Each museum charges a separate fee. The grounds are steep, so you may want to use the electric shuttle cars within the park. It is cooler here in summer than in the city, and it pairs well with visits to Tajrish and Darband on the same day.
Opening hours
09:00–17:00 (extended in summer)
