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

3. Keshavarz Boulevard, Tehran
- Greenery and water canal
- Government offices
- Pedestrian friendly
- Historic (considering Tehran's age)

^^ Please try not to overload the thread with photos, a few would do the job. It's about discussion not pictures, there is a whole section dedicated to that.

I completely agree with Shapoor! But if the current situation continues and the trees in Valiasr get more and more withered, my most favourite street would be Chahar-Bagh!

ok,but for comparison between some things we must have a clearly thought about them.for example I never visit Char-bagh street and I can't comparison this with Vali asr avenue unless I see some images from this street!

It's not a showcase of streets. A general overview including the street, sidewalks and buildings is much more convenient than over 30 photos of each corner.

idk if this counts but imo the best place is when you switch from hemmat highway to northern moddares highway in tehran.

Mirdamad boulevard in Tehran is one of the best streets in Iran, without a doubt.
