[[File:02 Tehran Metro Line 3 4.jpg|thumb|[[Tehran Metro]] is the largest metro system in the Middle East]]
Tehran has a [[Tehran Railway Station|central railway station]] that connects services round the clock to various cities in the country, along with a Tehran–Europe train line also running.

The feasibility study and conceptual planning of the construction of Tehran's subway system were started in the 1970s. The first two of the eight projected metro lines were opened in 2001.
