Valiasr Intersection

Valiasr Intersection

alive and energetic center of the town

It is located on the east side of the city and is one of the oldest and biggest intersections in Qazvin. It is also the most crowded intersection in the city since it is one of the main entrances from Tehran-Qazvin Highway and directly leads to the city center. This four-way intersection consists of Shahid Beheshti Blvd, Ayatollah Taleghani Blvd, Khorramshahr Blvd, and Ayatollah Khamenei Blvd crossing over each other. Its south side leads to Qazvin Bus Terminal and intercity taxi stand. Intersectionā€™s side roads are full of old trees that perfectly represent the history of these roads and bear the very first memories of the city.
