Excursions in Iran: Zayandeh River Sunset Walk
Iran is a tremendous place for people-watching, and there are few better places for it than the Zayandeh River. The medieval bridges here are well preserved and look absolutely charming lit up at night.
Zayandeh River Sunset Walk
Esfahan, Iran
Iran is a tremendous place for people-watching, and there are few better places for it than the Zayandeh River. The medieval bridges here are well preserved and look absolutely charming lit up at night. You see lots of young couples walking, flirting, chatting and watching, plus families out for an evening stroll.
Your driver drops you off at the Si-o Seh Bridge, the largest of the bridges, where you can stop for a cup of tea overlooking the river. If you walk across there is a thin strip of parkland along which you can walk to the next bridge, the Chubi - perhaps the most beautiful - followed later by the Khaju Bridge. Take your time, there's no hurry. When you're ready to go, cross the Khaju bridge to the northern side of the river, where your driver will be waiting for you. If you want to extend your walk to the Shahrestan Bridge, ask your guide and he/she will arrange a pick-up there.
