Tehran is a city steeped in ancient history and awe-inspiring scenery. The vibrant urban landscape is a stark contrast to the old buildings and classical bazaars that are dotted throughout the city – not to mention the rolling mountainous terrain that surrounds the centre.
Tehran’s streets are a feast for the eyes, almost becoming landmarks themselves. They’re decorated with colourful murals and street art that tell the story of a city constantly evolving. By evening, these streets erupt with life. Music fills the air, the aroma of freshly cooked kebabs waft through the city and every café or teahouse is brimming with excitement. It’s a destination where each moment is filled with excitement and discovery.
Situated in northeastern Iran, close to Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, Mashhad is a jewel that attracts visitors from around the world. As Iran’s second-largest population centre, Mashhad is considered the holiest city and spiritual heart of the country, with the dazzling Imam Reza Holy Shrine at its centre.
It’s also a family-friendly destination, with lush open spaces and water parks for younger visitors. Food lovers will enjoy experiencing the unique cuisine of northern Iran, inspired by a variety of different cultures and packed with flavour.
Thanks to its cooler temperatures, Mashhad is ideal to visit all year round. Alongside its ancient cultural importance is a thriving, modern metropolis with air-conditioned malls, an excellent travel network, and plenty to see and do.
Nestling in the south of Iran is the jewel that is Shiraz. This Persian centre of poetry and culture was once the capital of Iran, and today is the central city of Fars Province. The cosmopolitan makeup of its population makes it an eclectic and relaxed destination where everyone is welcome.
Take a wander around the well-preserved citadel of the Arg of Karim Khan, or adjourn to the air-conditioned cool of one of the city’s large shopping malls, where retail opportunities sit alongside excellent dining experiences.
Beyond the city limits are some of Iran’s most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making Shiraz a fabulous base for discovering the culture and ancient history of Persia. The best time to visit Shiraz is spring, when the sweet scent of the orange trees hangs fills the air.
