Hamadān is the oldest city in Iran with interesting stories. Hamadan city, which is mentioned in the biblical book of Ezra, is located approximately 360 kilometres (220 miles) southwest of Tehran and because of its good weather and fantastic nature, it not only attracts many foreign visitors but also Iranian people, to see its beauty mostly in summer.

The city is not as big or crowded as Tehran but it has three main symbols named Ganj Nameh inscription, Avicenna monument and Baba Taher monument. These 3 symbols are considered as must-see places. Therefore, for a person who is looking for exploring Iran beyond the classic route, Hamadan can be a good option.

One of the most important features of this city is the friendliness and hospitality of its people. Ask for something and you will see how they go miles to make sure you get what you are looking for.
