Tips and ideas

Sepah Bazaarcheh is in Southside of Sepah Street and is one of the main centers of fresh fruit and vegetable products. Mere walking in the old and charming environment of the bazaar makes you feel fresh, especially right before dusk. If you go there in the morning, please don’t miss the old bazaar's breakfasts. Delicious eggs with tasty Iranian tea can be tempting. After that, you can go north of the street and visit the Jameh Mosque. Also, there are some handicraft workshops behind the mosque in case you want to buy souvenirs. Then with a five-minute walk you will get to Sheikh al-Islam School and Mosque, a place you absolutely don’t want to miss. two minutes more walk will get you to sabzeh Meydan which is a center of everything in Qazvin.
