Words can fail to flow as all the destinations are a delight. The Green Palace is a gem and in summer time a real beaut as the surrounding trees add to the greenness. A must visit.
It will not be fair if one visits Saadabad Complex and doesn't go to Shahvand Palace or Green Palace or Sabz Palace, all names of the same place. Purely from it's size, I wouldn't call it a palace per se. It's rather small for a palace.
There is a separate ticket to be purchased but worth it in my view. The rooms inside the palace have been in the personal use of Shah of Iran and have been luxuriously furnished.One can see a combination of old Persian and European styles in this palace in construction, furniture, decor etc.
This palace is located within the Saadabad Complex. You need to purchase a separate ticket to enter the palace but it's highly recommended. I can't possibly see someone going all the way to Saadabad Complex and not visiting the Green Palace!
A Qajar palace, part of the whole complex of house palaces in the cool green summer get away for the royals. Don't miss the mirrored hall, gosh those Qajars did love those mirrored surfaces!
