Bishapur

The ruins of this third-century city are 90 miles from Shiraz.

Bishapur was an ancient city in Sasanid era. The road linked the Sassanid capitals Estakhr (very close to Persepolis) and Ctesiphon. It is located south of Shiraz. There are lots of structures there from Sasanid to Ilkhanid Era. The most beautiful and important part of the city is Anahita temple which is figure as the divinity of the Waters and hence associated with fertility, healing and wisdom Try to go there with a local guide who they explain completely about history of this amazing ancient city.

Tomb of Hafez

Reviewed By IranDestination - Shiraz, Iran

This place is special because of its spiritual atmosphere which makes it different from other tourist attractions. Hafez and Ferdowsi are the most important Iranian poets, so much so that Goethe considers himself influenced by them and has dedicated a book to Hafez. Hafez’s poems contain deep philosophical meaning that have kept their effect throughout the ages; so different people with different levels of education and age can interpret different meanings off of them. Furthermore, these poems have tremendously helped the Iranian music industry grow. Thus the effect and influence these poems had on Iranian culture are quite shallow and vast and you can find a copy in almost every Iranian house. Traditionally these poems are also used for fortune telling: people think about a specific matter and open a random page, the tray to foresee the future based on the poem, this is sometimes done by street badgers who use a trained bird who pulls the poem out, but many people do not do this due to the possibility of poems being pre-selected. When you visit Hafez’s tomb you might see many Iranians reading the poems and crying which is due love the feel towards Hafez.

Afif-Abad Garden

Reviewed By BRaissiyan - Tehran, Iran

It's a very big garden, with famous pattern of well known Persian gardens, some of which are registered as world heritage site. There is a beautiful building at the Centre of the garden lavishly decorated with delicate iranian Artistic architectural features. The building once used to be a villa for royal family, now converted to a military museum. If you are interested in rifles and guns and military history never never miss this museum. To me, It's significance is because you can see the temporary history of Iran. But you have to be familiar with guns to enjoy the museum because the information and guides are relatively poor. There is also a small but cozy tea house.

Shah-e-Cheragh Shrine

Reviewed By 1stQuesters - Tehran, Iran

Shiraz's Shah Cheragh Shrine is a very interesting place to visit, as it gives a good exemple of what Holy Shrines look like in Iran. The dome, with its rosebud shape, is a typical feature of Shirazi architecture. Non-muslims visitors are accompanied by a guide, for free, who give them insight about the place and its history. It's also possible to visit a small part of the interior, to see the mirror-work. Like in all holy shrines, women are required to wear a chador, which can be borrowed for free at the entrance. It's also interesting to visit in the evening, after sunset. The lights makes the place even more beautiful and the atmosphere is very lively, with many families gathering in the yard.

Nagsh-e Rostam

Reviewed By nadia_trip_iran - Tehran, Iran

maximum 40 kilometers far from Shiraz city ,Iran there is one of the most important necropolis in whole of the world, backs to the ancient history .it is called Naghshe Rostam in Persian Language. 5 kilometers far from this ancient Necropolis was located the capital of the Achaemenid Empire (Persepolise c. 550–330 BC) it is something mysterious ,glorious,you can walk through the history.it is good reminder for glory of Persian empire. The rock tombs belong to four Achaemenian kings. afterwards The ancient tombs attracted Sasanian kings as well. They wished to imitate the glory of the Achaemenian kings; maybe that is why they created huge reliefs besides the tombs. but there are different evidences which shows in the Elamite period ,this place also was very important.rock relief in this sacred place shows that this place was apparently located near one of the political and ritual capital at ancient time. i can not forget this cultural site ...

Qavam House

Reviewed By RodF428 - Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom

This was our first taste of a secular building a garden in Iran, and what a treasure it is. As so often in Iranian garden design, there is a lovely long pond with fountains, and many lovely trees and plants. The pavilion at the bottom of the garden has beautiful stucco work, and carved wooden pillars. But it is the reception hall which takes the breath away with the mirror mosaic and tile work. I personally found it more tasteful than the Golestan Palace in Tehran. The adjoining private family quarters is not quite as grand, but still very beautiful.
