Spring, particularly late April through May, is arguably the ideal time to visit Golestan Palace in Tehran. During these months, the weather is pleasant with mild temperatures, which makes exploring the extensive grounds and stunning rooms of the palace more enjoyable. The gardens are in full bloom, creating a picturesque backdrop for the historic architecture. Spring in Tehran also coincides with the Persian New Year, known as Nowruz, which brings a festive atmosphere to the city with various cultural events and decorations, providing visitors with a unique cultural experience along with their sightseeing.
Fall is another excellent season to visit Golestan Palace. From September to early November, the heat of the summer dissipates, and the cooler temperatures invite comfortable outdoor activities. The fall season tends to be less crowded compared to spring, offering a more serene experience of the palace's intricate designs and the surrounding gardens. Photography enthusiasts will find the autumnal light particularly flattering for capturing the palace's grandeur. However, it's wise to check the local calendar as various events and holidays might affect opening hours during this time.
