The food scene in Shiraz is best discovered on foot — start at Vakil Bazaar to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Shah Cheragh Shrine for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.
Shiraz is the city of poets, gardens, and the spectacular ruins of Persepolis. Walking through its rose-scented gardens, ornate mosques, and the nearby ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire reveals Iran's cultural soul.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided food tour route in Shiraz. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Vakil Bazaar — an 18th-century covered bazaar with brick-vaulted ceilings built by Karim Khan Zand, selling Persian carpets, spices, and inlaid khatamkari woodwork, plus hidden gems like Shah Cheragh Shrine — a dazzling mirror-tiled mausoleum that creates an effect like standing inside a diamond, open to non-Muslim visitors with a guide.
Use this page as a starting point for a Shiraz walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Shiraz. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
While Shiraz is best known for poetry and history, stops like Vakil Bazaar sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Shah Cheragh Shrine where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
The Pink Mosque's famous light show happens between 8am and 10am — arrive early. Persepolis has minimal shade, so bring sun protection and water for the visit.
March through May for spring flowers and Nowruz celebrations, or October through November for comfortable temperatures and clear skies.
