Babolsar

Babolsar (Persian: بابلسر) is a city in Mazandaran province, Iran. It is located on the southern coast of the Caspian sea. Since the Babol river passes through the city, both the bank of the river and the beach of the sea potentially form excellent tourist attractions in the city.

The existence of the central organization and the major faculties of the University of Mazandaran here means that a significant scientific environment exists in the city. The availability of fertile land including paddy fields around the city forms a beautiful landscape which is very pleasant to visitors. Babolsar has an area of 446 square kilometers and a population of over 30,000. The construction of new tourist towns nearby often increases the population of the city by up to a hundred thousand in some seasons of the year.
