For more time, spend a full day at each major attraction. For less time, skip the Tehran Bazaar and Masoudieh Palace. If visiting on a Monday, the National Museum of Iran and Treasury of National Jewels may be closed. Alternate options are the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art and Glassware and Ceramic Museum of Iran, respectively.
