Tabriz Walking Tour
Tabriz, Iran
Why Walk Tabriz
Tabriz has been a major trading hub for centuries, sitting on the Silk Road in northwestern Iran. Its bazaar — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is one of the largest covered markets in the world, a labyrinth of brick-vaulted corridors stretching over several kilometers. The city is the cultural capital of Iranian Azerbaijanis, with a distinct Turkic heritage.
