Shiraz is a city of culture and history, with a stunning array of Persian architecture. The city’s main sites include the impressive Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, the citadel of Arg-e Karim Khan, the Vakil Mosque and the Vakil Bazaar. But the city’s real draw is its gardens. The Eram Garden, built in the 19th century, is a paradise of flowers and trees, while the Garden of Allah-O-Akbar is a tranquil and beautiful spot, complete with a lake, fountain, and a pool.
But that’s not all, there’s also the colorful Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, the Karim Khan Citadel, and the Vakil Mosque. Explore the city’s ancient lanes and bazaars and then, for a change of pace, sample the local cuisine – try the kebabs and the sweet saffron ice cream.
