Rasht Municipality Square, known locally as Shahrdari Square, is the historic heart of the city, its four-way pedestrian streets closed to cars and lined with the former municipality building from the 1920s, a cinema, boutiques and statues of local celebrities.
It is at its liveliest after dark, when shops close and food carts selling kebab, cherry tea and roasted corn take over the square; it holds 4.7 on Google from 522 reviews, one of the best-loved spots in Rasht.
Local tip: Come in the evening rather than the afternoon. The square is built for a slow evening stroll, not a quick daytime photo stop.
