If you are an Iran lover, Iran is calling you

If you are interested in different tourist attractions, Iran with the following features is the best tourist destination for you. Iran is the friendliest country on earth, a jewel in Islam's crown, and combines glorious Islamic-Persian architecture with a very warm-hearted welcome.

Persepolis the capital of Achaemenid Empire

In the Footsteps of Empire

Echoes of ancient civilizations resonate down through the ages in Iran. Some of history's biggest names - Cyrus and Darius, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan - all left their mark here and the cities they conquered or over which they ruled are among the finest in a region rich with such storied ruins. Walking around the awesome and beautiful ancient capital at Persepolis, experiencing the remote power of Susa (Shush), and taking in the wonderfully mense Elamite ziggurat at Choga Zanbil will carry you all the way back to the glory of days of Ancient Persia.

Tehran the capital of Iran

Modern & Sophisticated

This is your chance to get to grips with Iran's modern history, too, particularly in Tehran. Enter part of the former US embassy, now called the US Den of Espionage; gaze up at Tehran's beautiful Azadi Tower, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered to mark the 1979 revolution and, in 2009, to protest against the regime the revolution delivered; and visit the haunting Iran Holy Defense Museum to learn all about the Iran Iraq war that so traumatized the country. Tehran is also where you can take Iran's contemporary pulse at creative contemporary art galleries and liberal cafe spaces.

Naqsh-e Jahan (Imam) Square

The Beauty of Islam

Iran is a treasure house for some of the most beautiful Islamic architecture on the planet. The sublime, turquoise-tiled domes and minarets of Esfahan's Naqsh-e Jahan (Imam) Square get so many appreciative gasps of wonder, and rightly so, but there are utterly magnificent rivals elsewhere, in Yazd and Shiraz among others. And it's not just the mosques - the palaces (especially in Tehran), gardens (everywhere, but Kashan really shines), and artfully conceived bridges and other public buildings all lend grace and beauty to cities across the country.

Iran Hospitality

Redefining Hospitality

Across Iran, a nation made up of numerous ethnic groups and influenced over thousands of years by Greek, Arab, Turkic, and Mongol occupiers, you'll find the people are endlessly welcoming. Offers to sit down for tea will be an everyday occurrence, and if you spend any time at all with Iranians, you'll often find yourself invited to share a meal in someone's home. Say yes whenever you can, and through it experience firsthand, Iranian culture, ancient, sophisticated, and warm. It's these experiences that will live the longest in the memory.
