Local Tips

Buy handicrafts in the bazaar for authentic souvenirs, use local taxis or the efficient ride-hailing apps, and carry some cash as card payments are not widely accepted.

Esfahan is generally safe, but be cautious of pickpockets in crowded bazaars; avoid walking alone late at night in isolated areas.
