The best things to see and do in Shiraz

Shiraz has no shortage of beautiful spots for you to see and experience. Here are our top recommendations:

• Roam around Bagh-e Naranjestan:  It might be the smallest garden in Shiraz, but the Bagh-e Naranjestan is also its loveliest. Known for being part of a complex made for the richest Qajar-era families, this garden and its buildings are well preserved for tourists to experience.
• Visit the Pars museum: This museum may not be the biggest or grandest that you’ll see, but you can’t miss visiting it whenever you’re in Shiraz. The Pars Museum was the first museum outside Tehran and it is home to at least 30 handwritten Qurans and a huge collection of paintings from different Persian artists. The pavilion and courtyard that surrounds it are also considered their own attractions.

The best time to visit Shiraz

Iran has four seasons and the summer and winter seasons here can be very harsh. So, if you want to explore Shiraz without worrying about the weather being too hot or cold, it’s best to book your trip during spring when daytime temperatures are not as hot and nights are a lot warmer. Spring is also when the flowers and plants in many of Shiraz’ gardens are in full bloom, so you can really appreciate their beauty.
