A square so vast and ornate it is a UNESCO site in its own right, bridges that double as gathering places at night with tea and singing under the arches, and tilework on the mosques considered among the finest ever produced.
The best time to visit Isfahan is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 24°C (75°F).
