Naqsh-e Jahan Square
One of the largest historic squares on earth — the Shah Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah, Ali Qapu Palace and the Grand Bazaar, all opening onto a single vast courtyard.
Persian culture isn't in a museum — it's the courtyard you're sitting in, the tile above your head, the tea being handed to you. These six cities are where it all lives.

One of the largest historic squares on earth — the Shah Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah, Ali Qapu Palace and the Grand Bazaar, all opening onto a single vast courtyard.

A UNESCO adobe city cooled by ancient badgirs, the Jameh Mosque, Zoroastrian fire temples, and rooftops that turn gold at sunset.

The stained-glass Pink Mosque at dawn, the tombs of Hafez and Saadi, and a short drive to the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenids at Persepolis.

A Persian garden blooming out of the desert at Mahan, the mud-brick citadel of Rayen, and the edge of the Lut — one of the hottest and most beautiful places on earth.

The great Qajar merchant houses — Tabatabaei, Borujerdi, Ameri — the rosewater fields of Qamsar, and the UNESCO-listed Bagh-e Fin.

The vaulted corridors of the Grand Bazaar, the jewels of the National Treasury, Golestan Palace, and a modern art scene that surprises every visitor.
