Ramsar Casino Boulevard

Ramsar Casino Boulevard (today's Moallem Boulevard) is one of the most distinctive historical and tourist attractions of Ramsar, in Mazandaran Province, and lies in the eastern, coastal part of the city. It was built during the reign of Reza Shah (the first Pahlavi period) in the 1310s SH (1930s), alongside Ramsar's urban development, and from the start it was designed as a promenade linking the Old Ramsar Hotel to the seashore. Today, at about 2 kilometres long, it is regarded as one of the most important pedestrian tourist routes in Iran and is listed among Iran's national heritage sites. Running alongside natural views of the Caspian Sea and the lush green mountains, the boulevard has become one of the symbols of Ramsar's urban identity.

Beyond its architectural and urban value, this historic boulevard is especially significant for its unique blend of nature, history and leisure. On both sides of the route are rows of Mexican fan palms, golden cypresses and urban greenery, which create a pleasant, subtropical atmosphere. With the Old Ramsar Hotel, the Marmar Palace and recreational and beach facilities at the end of the route, the boulevard forms a complete tourist axis. Cafés, restaurants, fountains and seating areas also let you stop and enjoy the view of forest, mountains and sea all at once. The area is considered one of the best spots in Ramsar for photography and evening strolls.

Getting to Ramsar Casino Boulevard is very easy: from the centre of Ramsar you can reach its entrance near the Old Hotel by car or on foot. Because it is a pedestrian street, it is ideal for a relaxed walk both by day and at night. The best time to visit is spring and early autumn, when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most beautiful. A visit in the late afternoon or evening offers a different experience thanks to the lighting and the lively city atmosphere. Practising responsible nature tourism, such as keeping the area clean, not damaging the greenery and respecting the historic fabric of the area, plays an important part in preserving this urban heritage.
