Places To Visit in Shiraz
Persepolis (UNESCO)
The glory of the ancient world pictured in your history books comes to life in the 2500-year-old ruins of the royal complex of Persepolis (UNESCO) near Shiraz. Persepolis used to be one of the six capitals of the empire that ruled over half of the known world, still dazzling visitors, archaeologists and history lovers from all around the world.
The Pink Mosque
Shiraz’s adorable Pink Mosque is a tasteful combination of colors, floral patterns, and Islamic art. The dance of lights and colors in the morning is music to the eyes and the spiritual peace of this exquisite piece of art is an unforgettable delight on your Shiraz tour. In no other Iranian mosque can you find such cheerful colors.
Pasargadae (UNESCO)
Discover the secrets of one of the greatest empires of the classical world on your Shiraz Tour! The royal complex of Pasargadae (UNESCO) is a testimony to the elegance of Persian civilization. The present ruins used to be the royal palaces, halls and gardens that made up the capital of Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great.
Naqsh-e Rostam Necropolis
This elegant hit of your Shiraz tour is another priceless memento of ancient Persia. Speaking of the beliefs, artistry and elegance of its creators, this elegantly carved cliff includes tombs of great Achaemenid kings, Sassanid rock reliefs portraying imperial scenes, and inscriptions that shed light on ancient history.
Qavam House
This luxurious 19th century mansion of Shirazi aristocrats will not miss to charm you as you set foot inside! If the refinement of art, taste, and skill employed in the house gives it half of its pleasant harmony, the lovely garden that fills the air with the intoxicating aroma of sour orange blossoms in Spring is definitely the other half.
Eram Garden
On Shiraz’s popular Eram Street, you’ll find the 4-season beauty of the city: Eram Garden. Depending on the date of your Shiraz Tour, you can see the blooms and blossoms of its spring, the golden look of its colorful leaves in fall, or the beauties of this UNESCO Persian Garden in summer or winter.
Vakil Complex
History, art, culture and people come together in Vakil Complex. This collection of 18th century heritages includes Vakil Mosque, Vakil Bathhouse and Vakil Bazaar. The first piece, Vakil Mosque, showcases elegant Persian architecture, tilework, calligraphy and a unique spiritual ambiance. Vakil Bathhouse (Hammam) will captivate you with architectural detail that speak of Persian ingenuity. And Vakil Bazaar…
Tomb of Hafez
If you are going to visit only one Persian poet, it has to be Hafez. As the favorite spot for many, Tomb of Hafez fills your Shiraz tour up with an aura of peace, romance and poetry. The tomb, the gardens and the buildings surrounding it are all special, but it is the poet’s popularity in Persians’ hearts that give the place half of its charm.
Tomb of Saadi
Tomb of Saadi is one of the reasons why Shiraz is known as the ‘City of Poetry’! This top classic poet probably has the record for writing about rose gardens, nightingales, and orchards! And where can you find his tomb on your Shiraz Tour? In the middle of evergreens, cypresses, bitter oranges, rose beds and pools!

When is the Best Time to Visit Shiraz?
As one of the main points on Iran’s classic tourist route, Shiraz is a 4-season city possible to visit all year round. Fall gives Shiraz a lovely look with orange and yellow leaves. Winters are tolerably cold and summers tolerably hot. But, Shiraz is adored for its Ordibehesht (2nd month in the solar calendar coinciding April 21 to May 20). The reason is that Iranians as well as tourists who have visited Shiraz in early spring have fallen in love with its special aura, the beauty of its gardens, and the aroma of its sour orange blossoms. As a local of Shiraz, I recommend visiting Shiraz in March, when not only nature is blooming, but you can also enjoy the gorgeous vibe and festivals of Nowrooz (Persian New Year).
