Tehran's sprawling Grand Bazaar is over 10 kilometers of covered corridors selling carpets, spices, gold, copperware, and textiles, free to enter and endlessly atmospheric. Tucked inside is Moslem Restaurant, a local institution famous for towering saffron tahchin (a crispy rice cake with chicken) at wallet-friendly prices. Browsing costs nothing, and a hearty traditional lunch keeps you well under budget.
