Shiraz, Iran

Why Walk Shiraz

Shiraz has been celebrated for centuries as Iran's city of culture, wine, and poetry — the tombs of Hafez and Saadi, two of Persian literature's greatest figures, are garden-set pilgrimage sites where Iranians gather to read verses aloud. The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque (Pink Mosque) creates a kaleidoscope of colored light through its stained glass windows each morning. The Vakil Bazaar is one of Iran's finest, with vaulted brick ceilings and shops selling everything from carpets to spices. The Eram Garden is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Persian garden design at its finest. The Arg of Karim Khan, an 18th-century citadel, anchors the city center. Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire built by Darius the Great around 500 BC, is about 60 kilometers northeast and is one of the ancient world's most impressive archaeological sites, with monumental staircases, relief carvings, and the Gate of All Nations.
