Eat

Rasht and the surrounding towns of the Caspian province are a great place to try still-warm, walnut-filled koloocheh cookies. Look for stores selling cookies with round patterns embossed on them.

Sleep

Budget

There are a cluster of cheap, centrally-located mosaferkhanehs clustered just south of Shahrdari Square, off Emam Khomeini Street. As with other such establishments, many of them suffer noise and cleanliness problems.

• Until now Caravan Guest House (signposted as Karavan Gesting House) has been the most popular with travellers, because of its cheap rooms--singles (IR 47,000), doubles (from IR 50,000) and triples (from IR 80,000)--available both with, and without private bathrooms.
