Tehran to Isfahan (Esfahan) by bus - Iran



Last year I was traveling to Iran, it is quite easy to find cheap flights to the capital however that was not my destination at the time.


Having arrived in Tehran airport in the very early morning my plan was to wait for sunrise and then take a bus from Tehran bus station onto Isfahan that was my main destination.

There are a number of bus terminals in the city of Tehran, however for going to Isfahan I went to Beyhagi Terminal, at the spot I purchased tickets for the next departure (price was below 10€ for the 450km journey) and only had time to use the washrooms quickly before boarding the bus.




Buses in Iran have a generally high standard, and all passengers were served a box of snacks and there was hot tea being served throughout the journey. If that is not enough, we also made a 30min stop for using of restroom facilities, buying more snacks, and having a warm meal at a service station (that contained a small abandoned amusement park…).


I would recommend traveling by bus in Iran, comfortable, safe and great value for money. Also much more available as domestic flights can be hard to book in advance from abroad.
