Each sizable town or tourist goal has its own Tourist Information Office on the spot. These are invaluable sources of information, from maps to local hotel lists and other miscellaneous items. The personnel (often English speaking) are extremely helpful. They don't recommend restaurants or make hotel reservations (unless it is requested by you). Tourist information Offices are usually found at the airports and the main railway stations. The main Tourist Office in Tehran is at: 11 Dameshq St, Vali-e Asr Ave, tel 892212-5.
