Despite its’ reputation in the West as a hotbed of terrorism, corruption, and uranium enrichment, Iran is in fact incredibly safe for travelers. A very strict policy regime ensures that crime is minimal. Furthermore, as well as been petrified of the police, most Iranian’s are very polite, helpful and welcoming to foreigners.
There are of course some issues to look out for including occasional pick-pocket and bag snatchers in crowded places such as the metro.
Female travelers can expect a lot of attention which may feel uncomfortable – Iranian men can be very direct and persistent. Be firm and be ready to make a scene if anybody crosses any lines of acceptability. Saying you are married may also help.
Take care when changing money and always count your change. You may end up with a lot of bank notes and the Rial/Toman system can be confusing for newcomers to the country.
