Yes. There is a 2 person chair lift that goes up and you walk back down. I can't remember how much it was but not that expensive. They also take a photo of you on it with Tehran in the background before you get to the top and you have the option to buy it if you like.

take metro from city to tajrish, stroll 30 mins through the bazaar. Then find a taxi or car to go up there, please bargain. they will take you the top, then you are the walking trail

i doubt

Distance from tehran to dalband

Dear Alan & Marylee From what I could see during my trip there, Tehran is safe & you should be good on your own. The Iranians are very hospitable and friendly. However, like all new places, I would suggest that you finish your exploring while it is daylight. Iranians speak English but it is broken & quite accented, so that may need a little getting used to, to be able to understand what is being communicated. Enjoy your trip and all the best

you should go to Tajrish square first(by metro, bus, or taxi) and then take a taxi to Darband.

The restaurant names are all very similar and serve similar food. I am not sure of their names but there are two that are very good. One is on the right hand side of the stream flowing through Darband. It has extensive parking in front and is regularly frequented by diplomats. The other is set on the hillside to the left of the stream. It is painted in yellow ochre and has tables on different floors which you can see from the pathway as you walk up.
