Teheran - Tehran

Teheran (piše se tudi teheran) (Perzijsko: تهران), je glavno mesto Iran. Živahno velemesto s 14 milijoni prebivalcev leži ob vznožju visokega pogorja Alborz.

Zračni pogled na Teheran

Razumeti

Teheran je svetovljansko mesto z odličnimi muzeji, parki, restavracijami in toplimi prijaznimi ljudmi. Zasluži si vsaj nekaj dni vašega iranskega načrta potovanja.

Mesto lahko približno razdelimo na dva dela - severni in južni. Severna okrožja Teherana so bolj uspešna, moderna, svetovljanska in dražja, medtem ko so južni deli manj privlačni, a cenejši.

V času dinastije Zand je bilo to malo mesto, ki je bilo s strateškega vidika pomembno. Prvi od kraljev Qajar, Agha Mohammed Khan, je Teheran leta 1778 imenoval za prestolnico države, večina njegove rasti pa se je začela v času vladavine naslednjega monarha Qajarja, Fath-Ali Shaha. Grad, ki ga je zgradil Agha Mohammed Khan, naj bi vseboval nove veličastne zgradbe.

Hkrati se je število prebivalcev v mestu podvojilo. Zaradi naraščajočega pomena mesta so bila zgrajena vrata, trgi in mošeje in ravno v času Nassereddina Shaha je bila pripravljena glavna skica mesta in zgrajene moderne ulice. Kasneje so bili zgrajeni ogromni osrednji trgi, kot je trg Toopkhaneh (danes imam Homeini) in kar nekaj vojaških stavb. Čeprav je bila dinastija Qajar v obdobju propada, je Teheran kmalu dobil obliko modernega mesta. Začela se je gradnja velikih vladnih zgradb, novih ulic, rekreacijskih centrov, organizacij za mestne storitve ter akademskih in metodičnih središč, čeprav je bila večina starih vrat in zgradb uničena, staro arhitekturno tkivo mesta pa nadomeščeno s sodobnim.

Teheran si je prislužil tudi nezavidljiv sloves kot smog polnega, prometno zamašenega in nenavadnega raztegovanja betona, ki je po švovih počil s 14 milijoni prebivalcev. Lahko pa najdete tudi nešteto prijetnih in prijetnih krajev v mestu in okolici - če veste, kje iskati. Teheran je mesto z več kot 800 parki, urejenimi. Mesto je skoraj miljo visoko nad morjem, zato je hladnejše od drugih mest na Bližnjem vzhodu. Kljub temu so poletne temperature zelo vroče, v povprečju julija znašajo 33 ° C (91 ° F) in pogosto presegajo 38 ° C (100 ° F). Zrak je ponavadi zelo suh.

Kombinacija dejavnikov naredi Teheran prijeten kraj za obisk: suho podnebje, ki je ob večerih hladno, bližina gora, parki in vrtovi, kjer cvetijo rože skozi vse leto, drevoredi na drevoredih ali celo manjši ulice in celo voda, ki teče iz zgornjega mesta po globokih in širokih žlebovih, ki spomladi izgledajo kot majhne reke. Pogorje Alborz na severu Teherana, ki je najvišji vrh Irana, pozimi ljubiteljem smučanja nudi fantastične pogoje. Pozimi so gorski hoteli in smučarski klubi v Šemshaku in Dizinu polni več dni v tednu. Nekateri smučarji specialisti menijo, da je vrednost snega v severnem Teheranu ena izmed najboljših na svetu.

Z letalom

35.411351.152691 Mednarodno letališče Imam Khomeini (IKA ^IATA) (55 km jugozahodno od središča mesta, železniška postaja Robat Karim (ایستگاه راه آهن رباط کریم) približno 3 km severozahodno v bližini proge 1 „Kahrizak“ ~ 20 km NE). Edino letališče v Teheranu, do katerega letijo mednarodni potniški leti. (posodobljeno novembra 2016)

Kopenski prevoz:

• Metro Do središča mesta je najlažje priti s podzemno železnico. Linija številka 8 povezuje letališki terminal A z metro linijo 1 (rdeča črta) (75000 rial, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti za celotno omrežje, marec 2019). Teče nepravilno: 06:50, 08:10, 09:30, 10:50, 12:10, 13:30, 14:50, 16:10, 17:30, 18:50, 20:10.
• Avtobusi med letališčem in mestom (npr. podzemna postaja Haram) vozite vsakih 30-60 min 07: 00-23: 00. Zapustijo se tik pred glavnim izhodom in stanejo 20.000–30.000 rial. Obstajajo nepotrjena poročila o avtobusu, ki vozi med IKIA in letališčem Mehrabad vsake 4–5 ur.
• Taksiji stanejo fiksno stopnjo 800.000 rialov (ali 25 USD ali 20 EUR od oktobra 2017), povprašajte na taksi pultu. Vožnja do / iz središča mesta traja 45 minut brez prometa, lahko pa traja tudi več kot 90 minut. Tik pred dvorano za prihode je kabina, ki organizira taksije. Dogovorite se lahko tudi s taksiji, ki potnike odloži v dvorani za prihode, ker bi se morali v Teheran vrniti prazni. Taksiji do najbližje postaje podzemne železnice (Haram-e-Motahhar) stanejo 500.000 rialov.
• Shuttle taksiji in zeleni minibusi vozijo med letališčem in postajo Shahed na rdeči črti podzemne železnice. To je lahko priročna možnost, da se odpeljete na letališče iz mesta, vendar bo iskanje letaliških taksijev na letališču težko, saj se mnogi tam ne ustavijo. Pri 7000 rialih za vozovnico za podzemno železnico in 40.000 rialih za shuttle taxi (poskušali vam bodo odtrgati ali zaračunati vnos prtljage, tudi če je prostora, zato zavzemite le en sedež, če ne želite plačati verjetno), je verjetno najcenejša možnost iz mesta, ki ne zahteva dolgo čakanja na avtobus (shuttle taksiji zapustijo, ko so polni). Na postaji Shahed pojdite na parkirišče (izhod je samo en in ga ne morete zgrešiti) in na levi strani boste videli zelene minibuse. Od tam do letališča traja približno 30-40 min. Zadnji odpelje okoli 21:30.
• Metro linija 1 (rdeča) Čez dan je podzemna železnica od IKA do Teherana. Vlaki vozijo vsako uro, zato preverite vozni red (september 2017).

35.6909751.318682 Teheransko letališče Mehrabad (THR ^IATA). Mehrabad se uporablja samo za notranje in tovorne lete. Povezan je s teheransko podzemno linijo 4. (posodobljeno september 2016)

Kljub opozorilom v nekaterih vodnikih za tuje potnike ni izstopnine niti na Mehrabadu niti na letališču Imam Homeini. The izstopnina velja za tuje potnike le, če zapustijo Iran na kopnem ali po morju.

Z vlakom

Na dan vozi vsaj en vlak (nekaj čez noč) iz iranskih mest, kot je Mešhad, Isfahan, Tabriz, Kerman, Yazd, Sari, Gorgan, Ahvaz in Bandar Abbas. Domače vozovnice lahko kupite na kateri koli postaji, pri potovalnih agencijah ali prek spleta na različnih spletnih mestih upravljavcev vlakov, kot je npr Raja, Fadak, BonRail^{[mrtva povezava]}, Jooparin Behtarinsafar. Za nakup vstopnic prek spleta lahko uporabite tudi enega od iranskih OTA. Alibaba je priporočljivo.

Mednarodni vlak iz Ljubljane Ankara, Transasia Express, vozi dvakrat na teden. Iz mesta je na voljo dodaten mednarodni vlak kombi prek Tabriz prav tako.

• 35.6579851.397793 Železniška postaja v Teheranu (ايستگاه راه آهن تهران) (Najbližja podzemna postaja je Rahahan). (posodobljeno avgust 2019)

Z avtom

Promet je zelo preobremenjen, vendar se je izboljšal z dograditvijo več novih predorov in avtocest (ki jih domačini imenujejo avtobani) po mestu. Iz Turčije in južnih delov Irana se lahko pripeljete dokaj enostavno. Čeprav je bilo v Iranu že od nekdaj veliko prometnih nesreč, je policija zaostrila nesreče in vožnja je zdaj varnejša kot prej. Najem avtomobila je možen na letališču IKA, Mehrabadu in v mestu.

Če boste uporabljali ceste in zemeljski prevoz, je na voljo spletno mesto, ki ga vzdržuje vladno ministrstvo za promet in urbani razvoj tukaj ali tukaj ki objavlja stanje cest. Morda boste morali uporabiti Google prevajalnik za razumevanje besedila med krmarjenjem po straneh.

Z avtobusom

Skoraj vsako mesto in oddaljena vas v Iranu ima avtobusne povezave do Teherana - na stotine avtobusov, ki se vsak dan vlijejo in izstopijo iz prestolnice. Večina avtobusov prispe na enega od štirih glavnih avtobusnih terminalov:

• 35.7008551.330654 Zahodni avtobusni terminal (Terminal-e-gharb, avtobusni terminal Azadi), Severozahodno od stolpa Azadi (10 minut hoje severozahodno od trga Azadi in nekaj minut hoje severno od postaje podzemne železnice Azadi Square). Največji, najbolj zaseden in najbolje opremljen med teheranskimi terminali. Večina mednarodnih avtobusov in tistih, ki vozijo do regije Kaspijskega morja in destinacij zahodno od Teherana, prihaja in konča tukaj. Avtobus do Erevan stane 1.800.000 rialov in odpelje vsak dan ob 13:00. (posodobljeno julij 2016)
• 35.7233351.521495 Vzhodni avtobusni terminal (Terminal-e-shargh) (7 km severozahodno od trga Emam Hossein). Upravlja avtobuse iz province Khorasan in nekaj storitev s severa.  
• 35.6493851.418536 Južni avtobusni terminal (Terminal-e-jonoob), Morsali, (se podzemno linijo 1 pripeljete do postaje Terminal-e-Jonoob, nato pa uporabite podzemni prehod vzhodno do avtobusnega terminala). Služi destinacijam južno od Teherana, npr. Kashan, Qom, Isfahan in Shiraz. Cena vstopnic za Isfahan je okoli 300.000 rialov in 600.000 rialov za Shiraz. (posodobljeno julij 2016)
• 35.7376151.417417 Avtobusni terminal Beihaghi (Terminal-e-beihaghi, Shahvand Beihaghi), poleg Arzhantinovega trga (približno 1,5 km jugozahodno od podzemne postaje Line 1 Mossallah (skupni taksiji do terminala stanejo 10.000 rialov septembra 2016) ali severozahodno od podzemne postaje Shahid Beheshti). Postaja ima storitve iz večine glavnih destinacij v Iranu, vključno z Mašhadom, Esfahanom, Rashtom, Shirazom, Tabrizom in Yazdom. Vstopnica iz Esfahana stane 255.000 rialov (september 2016).

Obiti

35 ° 41′15 ″ S 51 ° 25′17 ″ V

Zaobiti se v prometno zamašenem, razprostranjenem Teheranu je pravi preizkus potrpljenja. Čeprav so vaše taksije vaše najboljše stave, so tukaj cenejše od preostale države. Veliko lokalno avtobusno omrežje vas bo pripeljalo skoraj kamor koli boste morali, če boste lahko razumeli poti in številke perzijskih linij. Prava zvezda teheranskega prometnega sistema pa je podzemna železnica.

Z avtobusom

Teheran ima poceni, a zmedeno avtobusno omrežje. Nekateri potrebujejo predplačniško brezkontaktno kartico (najmanj 5000 rialov), ki jo lahko kupite v kabinah ob avtobusnih postajališčih in podzemnih postajah, ki se uporabljajo, ko izstopite iz avtobusa, nekateri pa jih je treba plačati z gotovino (od 1.000 do 4.000 rialov). Avtobusi so razdeljeni na dva dela, samo za moške (sprednji del) in samo za ženske (zadnji del).

V vrsticah BRT je spredaj le odsek za ženske. Prav tako se pristojbina plača na postaji z uporabo predplačniške brezkontaktne kartice (v skupni rabi z Metrojem) ali s plačilom stražarju.

Ker so številke avtobusov, opisi poti in druge informacije v perzijščini, je najbolje, da na avtobusni postaji izgledate zmedeno; domačin se bo zagotovo ustavil, da bo pomagal. Vsaka avtobusna linija ima določeno in skoraj nespremenljivo pot, vendar le ljudje natančno vedo, katere avtobusne postaje obstajajo za določeno cesto. Tudi v perzijščini ne smete pričakovati zemljevida ali vodnikov, ki prikazujejo avtobusno omrežje ali avtobusne postaje. Tudi če vprašate voznika avtobusa, tudi vam ne bi bilo v veliko pomoč pri iskanju poti. Če vstopite v avtobus in iščete določeno postajo za izhod, prosite eno, da vam pomaga - večino časa boste našli veliko ljudi, ki vam želijo pomagati pri iskanju poti.

Avtobusni hitri tranzit (BRT)

Avtobusi BRT so obarvani rdeče. BRT ima posebne linije in zelo hitro potuje s trga Azadi (zahodno od Teherana) neposredno na vzhod (Terminal-e-Shargh). Železniški trg (južno od Teherana) neposredno na severu (trg Tajrish). Trg Azadi do brezplačne univerze (severozahod). Trg Azadi do južnega terminala in most na mostu (severno od Teherana) do trga jomhuri. Stane 1.000-3.000 rialov. V urah z velikim prometom (07: 00-09: 00 in 16: 00-20: 00) je to najboljši način za potovanje. BRT ima veliko postaj v bližini glavnih ulic. Čeprav zaradi gneče v avtobusu morda ne boste našli praznega sedeža, vam ljudje namenijo svoje mesto, če vedo, da ste turist. Ženski in moški sedeži in čakalne vrste so ločeni.

Z metrojem

Teheranski metro

Teheranski metro sistem ima sedem linij, ki vas bodo hitro prepeljale z enega konca mesta na drugega, ne da bi se morali spoprijeti s hrupom, onesnaženjem in kaosom prometa v Teheranu. Vendar se je veliko prebivalcev odločilo, da bodo pustili avtomobile in se vozili s podzemno železnico, zato v prometnih konicah pričakujte veliko gnečo.

Obstaja sedem linij, dve najbolj uporabni pa sta liniji 1 (od severa proti jugu - od postaje Tajrish do postaje Haram-e-Motahar) in 2 (od vzhoda proti zahodu), ki se povezujejo na osrednji postaji Imam Homeini. Vse postaje imajo napise v perzijščini in angleščini. Vlaki vozijo vsakih 10 minut ali manj v prometnih konicah (15 minut ob petkih in praznikih) od približno 05:30 do 23:00 vsak dan.

Linija 6 (roza črta) je bila odprta aprila 2019 s trga Shohada na liniji 4 do Dowlat Abada. Ena vmesna postaja je odprta. Preostali del proge in njene postaje so še v izgradnji.

Vstopnice veljajo za 1 ali 2 potovanja (vključno s spremembo linije) in stanejo 10.000 rialov za en sam (marec 2019). Na vsaki postaji so kabine za prodajo vozovnic. Lahko tudi kupite brezkontaktno kartico za vozovnico, ki je najboljša možnost, če boste veliko uporabljali metro ali če želite imeti manj težav, če za kartico plačate 50.000 rialov in jo uporabite v metroju in nekaterih mestnih avtobusih (če uporabljate to kartico, običajno plačate manj kot katere koli druge vozovnice, saj zaračunajo najdaljše potovanje v omrežju). Na vsakem koncu vlaka sta dva namenska vagona, namenjena samo ženskam. Ženske se sicer lahko odločijo za potovanje z drugimi kočijami, vendar le redko.

Obstaja nekaj aplikacij za naprave Android in iOS, ki pomagajo potnikom pri uporabi podzemne železnice. Lahko poskusite prenesti Teheranski metro aplikacija za tuje potnike. Najprej se lahko znajdete na Googlovem zemljevidu (na njem so označene postaje) in s svojim ciljem se odločite, na katero postajo lahko pridete in na katero želite prispeti. Po njem jih lahko izberete na zemljevidu postaj, da dobite besedilno razlago o navodilih in spremembah linij ter oceno časa potovanja.

S taksijem

Stari taksiji

Tako kot v preostali državi so tudi v Teheranu na voljo zasebni taksiji in taksiji v skupni rabi, čeprav je morda označevanje skupnega taksija zaradi prometa in kaosa težje, medtem ko so zasebni taksiji dražji kot v manjših mestih. Glejte informacije o rešitvah okoli Iran za podrobnosti o označevanju taksija. Če se želite voziti s skupnim taksijem, je najbolje, da skočite od kvadrata do kvadrata, saj vas vozniki ne bodo želeli pobrati, če bo vaš kričani cilj preveč odstopal od poti. Na vsakem kvadratu boste našli določena mesta, kjer se zasebni taksiji postavijo v vrsto in vozniki pokličejo potnike do cilja. (večinoma v času, ko število čakajočih taksijev presega število potnikov). V tem primeru bi počakali, da se avto polni potnikov (večinoma ena oseba spredaj in 3 osebe zadaj, razen voznika). V nasprotnem primeru se morajo ljudje postaviti v vrsto in čakati, da pridejo taksiji. Tako je v času prometnih konic (približno 07: 00-08: 00 in 17: 00-20: 00). Vse to je odvisno od iskanja njihove običajne postaje na trgu. Prav tako jih lahko prosite, da izstopijo prej kot vaš cilj, kjer koli želite, vendar morate plačati njihovo skupno pristojbino do cilja. Cena takšne vožnje od trga Azadi do trga Vanak znaša približno 10.000 rialov za vsako osebo. Večina voznikov sicer zelo slabo govori angleško.

Teheranski hibridni taksi

Snapp je tudi iranska različica Uber v Teheranu, ki je dokaj poceni in cena je izračunana vnaprej. Aplikacijo lahko prenesete iz Trgovina Google Play in Apple App Store^{[mrtva povezava]} Na voljo je v angleščini in francoščini, vendar je za njegovo aktiviranje potrebna lokalna kartica SIM. Čeprav vozniki morda ne govorijo dobro angleško, podporna linija dobro govori angleško in lahko reši težave s komunikacijo med vami in voznikom.

Motoristični taksiji so teheranska posebnost in ponujajo način za hitro prepletanje mestnih prometnih zamaškov. Veliko voznikov boste videli ob cesti in klicali "motor" pri vseh, ki gredo mimo. Motorni taksi operaterji se zdijo celo bolj samomorilni kot povprečni teheranski voznik. Dogovorite se za ceno prej vzletite in pričakujete, da boste plačali nekoliko manj kot zakup zasebnega taksija.

Nakup

Izmenjava denarja

For information on Iranian currency see Iran#Buy.

You can exchange your currency in most banks after filling out between two and five forms, but the exchange rate in exchange offices (sarraafis) is always better than what is offered by banks. It is much advisable to go to one of these 35.695851.42021 money exchange offices at Ferdosi Ave (close to Jewels Museum). Such offices can also be found in other parts of the city, but are far more scattered. Ask them to show you a copy of their license, issued by the Central Bank of the country and/or the local guild.

Also, most exchange offices in Tehran don't exchange before 09:00, when the daily rate gets fixed.

Do not exchange your money with one of the many individuals offering to exchange along Ferdosi St. It is much riskier and illegal. They might be criminals offering counterfeit money.

As for March 2019, exchange offices in Tehran were not exchanging, and they announced lower rate than at the airport. The best rate was (surprisingly) at the airport, and higher than stated at XE Currency Exchange. Accommodation can be paid in euros, so you do not need to exchange all the money for the trip. In March 2019, they were changing 151,000-153,000 rials for €1; 170,000-173,000 rials for £1; 139,000 rials for US$1 (dollar rate as of 26 Apr 2019) - at the airport, first floor (departures).

Bazaars and shopping malls

Obstajajo tudi številni shopping malls in the city. Valiasr Street and Tajrish Square (also includes a traditional bazaar) are two of the many locations full of shopping centres in Tehran.

• 35.674651.42022 Grand Bazaar of Tehran (بازار), Panzdah-e-Khordad St (0.5 km SE from metro Panzdah-e-khordad. Ask for Zaid Mosque (امامزاده زید) at Northern limit of the Bazaar). Wander around Tehran's massive bazaar. The main entrance on 15 Khordad Ave leads to a labyrinth of stalls and shops that were once the engine room of Iran's commodity markets and one of Imam Khomeini's greatest sources of conservative, pro-Revolution support. As usual, shops are clustered according to the products they sell. If you're planning on heading out into remote areas, the bazaar is an ideal and cheap place to stock up on almost anything you need.

• 35.7977351.41285 Palladium Mall, Moqadas Ardabili St (BRT Line 7, Homayooni stop (همایونی)). The confectionery shop next to the supermarket is perfect for shopping souvenir sweets. Though on the pricey side by Iranian standards, the quality of the sweets is also high. Look out for the Tehranis who are wearing traditional black chadoors; they are a distinct minority among the well-to-do clientele of this ultra-modern mall.

Spi

The old-styled Mosaferkhanehs and budget hotels are often low quality and overpriced. The reason is that Iran has had very limited exposure to the outside world. In many low budget places there are no European toilets or even no toilet paper and staff can be rather unfriendly with no English-speaking ability. However, a couple of modern hostels have opened in Tehran.

Considering that the population of Tehran is around 15 million, it is still one of the safer cities to visit in global terms. Violent crime is rare and exercising common sense and taking the usual precautions against pickpockets in crowded areas should ensure a hassle-free visit. Most areas are safe even late at night, although it is not advisable to take a private taxi at 02:00 for example (but the lack of public nightlife means that few tourists would be out at that time in the first place). South Tehran (or the areas south of the Tehran Bazaar) is the only area that should really be avoided after dark, as some of the more deprived neighborhoods are there.

Traffic in Tehran is very dangerous and should be considered to be among the worst in the world. Even though crossing the street might at first seem impossible, drivers usually do a very good job avoiding pedestrians. Still, try to cross the street when the locals do as there is safety in numbers. The rate of traffic accidents is disturbingly high, so faith should not be put on drivers' skills alone.

Traffic congestion is very acute in Tehran and driving habits are dangerous. Exercise extreme caution when crossing the street.

The fake police that have traditionally targeted tourists in Esfahan have also found their way to Tehran. These are usually uniformed men in unmarked cars flashing fake IDs and requesting to see your passport or to search through your luggage. You should ignore such requests and head to the nearest police station ("kalantari") if you feel unsafe. However, it can be somewhat hard for the untrained eye to tell these apart from real police.

If you decide to smoke the qalyan (waterpipe or hubble-bubble), make sure that you are not unintentionally smoking opium or any other kind of drug. Čeprav drugs and alcohol are illegal in Iran, it is not impossible to get them, especially in Tehran. The government has banned smoking qalyan and cigarettes in public places, so finding a good place to smoke can be a challenge. If you really want to try the qalyan, do it only at a qahvekhane recommended by a Western guidebook or travel website.

The traffic in Tehran is horrendous. To get a break from it, head to the parks in the north of the city.

The holiday town of Ramsar is about five hours away, and the drive across the Alborz Mountains is spectacular. A taxi round-trip for a day shouldn't set you back more than 500,000 rials (ask for taxis near Azadi Square).
