Nazhvan Park

Nazhvan Forest Park is a vast, green escape on the western edge of Isfahan, where the Zayandeh Rud river threads through towering poplars and ancient willows. Its 1,200-hectare grounds—often called the "lungs of Isfahan"—offer everything from Iran's largest aquarium and a spectacular bird garden to a scenic chairlift that soars above the treetops and across the river. Whether you come for a lazy afternoon of walking, cycling and picnicking under autumn-gold leaves, or want to explore a full day of museums and wildlife parks, Nazhvan delivers a refreshing contrast to the city's dense historic core.
