Things to do in & around Shiraz
Marvel at the city’s mosques
Some of the world’s oldest and most beautiful mosques can be found in Iran, and Shiraz is no exception. Also known as the Pink Mosque, Nasir al-Mulk dates back to the late 1800s and is one of the most photographed buildings in the country. It gets its name thanks to a breathtaking effect when sunlight streams through a rainbow of stained glass windows at dawn, creating a dazzling kaleidoscope of pink-hued light.Wander the gardens
Shiraz is famed for its flowers and nightingales, so it’s no surprise that its gardens are so enchanting. Named after the bitter oranges found in its central courtyard, Bagh-e Naranjestan is Shiraz’s smallest garden, but one of its best, with a charming pavilion – complete with intricate tiles and mirrored entrance hall – right at its heart. Bagh-e Nazar, meanwhile, surrounds an octagonal pavilion, which is now home to the pint-sized and intricately decorated Pars Museum.For greater insight into the life and works of poet and national icon Hafez, make for the Aramgah-e Hafez, home to both his tomb and a memorial garden, where you can take a drink in the on-site tea house. UNESCO-listed Bagh-e Eram, set a block north of the Khoshk River, is one of the most celebrated gardens in Iran, built in the 19th century around a Qajar-era pool and palace, and famed for its tall cypress trees and rose bushes.
Arg-e Karim Khan Fortress
This imposing fortress sits right at the heart of the city center. Built in the 18th century during the Zand dynasty, it has the air of a medieval castle, thanks to its high walls, ornamental brickwork and soaring, crenulated towers. Over the years it has served as both a royal residence and a prison, and today it holds a museum as well as a lush courtyard garden lined with citrus trees.Persepolis
