Rick Steves' Europe
Iran: Tehran and Side Trips
Season 5
Episode 513
As he’s done with previous programs on Israel, Egypt, and Eastern Turkey, Rick takes us beyond Europe to a place that’s rich with history and mystery. In this first of two half-hour shows on Iran, Rick dodges traffic in Tehran, enjoys the tranquility of a nearby village, and encounters both anti-American propaganda and a warm welcome from everyday Iranians.
