Destinations
Most first itineraries follow the same line: Tehran, Kashan, Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz. It works, and it leaves out half the country. The wet tea slopes of Gilan, the stepped villages of Kurdistan and the red-soil shore of Hormuz sit well off that route.
This section holds our city guides and our articles on sights, bazaars, parks, islands and stations across Iran. Each city and province also has its own hub, such as Isfahan, Yazd, Shiraz and Tehran, which gathers everything we have written about it.
If this is your first trip, read our pillar Iran travel guide first. Then pick from the guides most readers start with:
- How many days you need in Iran
