Tajrish & Imamzadeh Saleh
تجریش و امامزاده صالح
The liveliest district in north Tehran, where the mirror-decorated Imamzadeh Saleh shrine sits beside the traditional Tajrish Bazaar.
Tajrish is the historic village centre of north Tehran. The vaulted Tajrish Bazaar sells fresh fruit, spices and daily necessities, with more local flavour than the Grand Bazaar. Next door, the interior of Imamzadeh Saleh is covered in glittering mirror mosaic, and it is the most important Shia shrine in north Tehran. Women must borrow a chador to enter, and non-Muslims should avoid prayer times. Take Metro Line 1 to Tajrish station.
Opening hours
Shrine open all day; bazaar about 9 am–9 pm
