Which street/avenue/boulevard do you consider the best in Iran?
Some common factors should be:
- Streetscape
- Economic/histortical/geographical importance
- Traffic
- Length and width (in lanes)
- Pedestrian friendly sidewalks
- Public transport (Metro stations and BRT)
Some good ones I can think of:
1. Valiasr Street, Tehran
- The longest street of Iran (17.3 km)
- Wide and beautiful sidewalks
- Modern and contemporary architecture
- Runs next to Mellat Park, one of the best parks of Tehran.
- Plenty of commercial buildings and restaurants.
- BRT line and future metro stations

- Nice greenery

- Historic (considering Tehran's age)
