Tehran Metro has a long history of construction and inauguration. The project
was under way before the revolution of 1979, but was held up due to the
agitations and chaos of the revolution and the paralyzing effects of the
catastrophic war with Iraq. The planning and construction of the metro in Tehran
was resumed after the end of the war and finally the first of many Tehran metro
lines became operational in 1999. As with
Tehran BRT map, the most updated version of
Tehran subway map (Tehran metro map 2017) is available online in JPG and
PDF formats. There are lots of Tehran metro maps free to download in PDF
but you are advised to download the one designed by our Tehran hostel (link above). The first maps of metro in
Tehran showed just two lines but later four more lines were added. Tehran metro
stations each have a theme usually related to the name of the station and these
unique themes are considered in the construction of each station. The red line
that connects Tajrish Sq. in the north to Kahrizak in the south has 29 stops and
is the busiest line in Tehran Metro. It shares five stations with the other
lines where the passengers can change lines and head towards their destinations
in the east and the west. The second blue-colored line linking Sadeghieh Sq. in
the west to Farhangsara Station in the northeast has 22 stops and is the second
longest line in Tehran subway. Line3 (light blue line) starting from Ghaem
Station takes you from northeast to southwest and travels through 23 stations
until it reaches Azadegan. The yellow line connects Ekbatan in the west to
Shahid Kolahduz in the far east and carries the passengers across 22 stations.
The fifth line is the only line outside Tehran transferring thousands of
commuters from Karaj to Tehran and vice versa. The green line ends in Sadeghieh
which is the first station of the blue line. We skip the 6th line which is still
under construction and go to the violet-colored line 7 which is more than 14
miles long and joins the north of Tehran to Takhti Stadium in the east.
Currently only eight stations of the total 26 are operational. The last line is
probably the most important one for the foreign tourists as it connects to Imam
Khomeini Airport, your landing place to Tehran. Shown with a different shade of
red, this line is an offshoot of the first line and is the only metro line in
Tehran which is open 24 hours. This complex web of stations, lines and colors
might seem too intricate to many but once you start your journey in Tehran Metro
you will easily find your way and will come across a lot of people who are eager
to speak English and lead you to your destination. But to stay on the safe side
we recommend that you get the latest version of Tehran
metro map. The new version of the metro map, available online in pdf and
jpg, includes the names and minor descriptions of each station. If you are not
interested to use subway and would like to use Tehran city buses, we recommend
you to download
Tehran bus map. As for Iran buses
heading out of Tehran moving all around the country, Iran Tickets has been catering to the travelers'
needs for years.

Salaam!
I’m an American Iranian going to Tehran in a couple weeks and in a panic right now worried if i can exchange a couple thousand dollars into Rials? I have both an American passport and Iranian passport, and technically i am a complete citizen of both countries!
I’m just confused if I should use my USA passport only and will i be able to exchange easily? I’m more than happy to stay at your hotel upon arrival! Please advise, komak lotfan... :-)Admin:
Thank You
