About
Quick facts: Stretching 270 meters across a busy highway and a dry riverbed, this pedestrian bridge connects two public parks that were once separated by a major road. Three levels of winding pathways offer walkers, joggers, and loungers a place to pause and take in the Alborz Mountains on the northern horizon.
Highlights: At 40 meters wide in some spots, the bridge functions less like a crossing and more like a floating neighborhood park suspended in the air. Benches, planters, and small cafes are tucked into its curves, turning a commute between two parks into an event that draws over 4 million people each year.
Insider tips
- Start at Taleghani Park on the eastern side and walk west toward Ab-o-Atash Park to catch the best mountain views ahead of you.
- The middle level has fewer people and more benches, perfect for reading or people-watching without the crowd noise.
- Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the elevated open structure catches wind from the mountains.
- Photographers should aim for the hour after sunset when the bridge lights glow against the deep blue sky.
