Persian gardens laid out centuries ago as an early blueprint for paradise itself, poetry recited at the tombs of two of the language's most celebrated poets, and a mosque whose stained glass turns the morning prayer hall into a kaleidoscope.

The best time to visit Shiraz is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (80°F).
