Tehran, the city of tourists
Tehran is the country's most visited city. In 1397 (2018/19), six million people from across Iran traveled to Tehran, and this flood of travelers has made Tehran Iran's top tourism destination. This figure looks even larger when we know that Tehran has a population of about 8/9 million (Tehran City Statistical Yearbook 1397 (2018/19)); so in addition to its residents, Tehran each year also hosts travelers amounting to 70 percent of its own population.
Historical attractions (Golestan Palace, Niavaran Palace, and so on), recreational facilities, better-equipped hospitals, better education, the concentration of government offices, and a number of other issues are among the factors affecting the number of travelers to the capital.
Iran's spiritual capital, Mashhad, Iran's capital of culture and literature, Shiraz, and Iran's religious capital, Qom, rank next in hosting travelers.
