Take refreshing long stroll in Chahar Bagh

Taking a stroll down Chahar Bagh-e Abbasi Street is an indivisible part of touring Isfahan City in Iran.

Although this is an unavoidable part of the visit to the city known as half of the world, it will be one of the most memorable experiences to have on a trip to Iran.

Chahar Bagh-e Abbasi, a street with a line of tall trees running along each side of it, has a special type of grandeur and beauty to offer in all seasons of the year.

Here are some photos from the spring and autumnal ambiance of the street.

This is not merely a long walk, as one can enjoy the most delicious local cuisine in the best restaurants and cafes along the path.

As the street starts from Si-o-Se Pol (33 bridges), first pay a visit to the phenomenal monument and then go sightseeing to Hasht Behesht Palace, Chahar Bagh School, Naqsh-e Jahan, and Chehelsotoun to name a few.

Historically, the street was built during the Safavid Era when Isfahan was chosen as the capital city of the country.

Back then, there were gardens on both sides of the street, so it has its name (which means four gardens in English) from the environment.

Here are some paintings from Chahar Bagh-e Abbasi in the past.
