Isfahan trip planner

A cultural hub in the center of the country, Esfahan boasts a proud heritage of art, architecture, and craftsmanship. The atmospheric markets in the center of town offer sights of artisans at work in open-door studios, hand-painting tiles and camel bones, and knotting traditional carpets. The bustle of activity spills out onto the UNESCO-listed square, home to mosques, a palace, and a bazaar, all of which evoke memories of the city's time as the capital of Persia. The wealth of Persian gardens and finely decorated holy buildings in the town center give the city the feel of an open-air museum, with a multitude of places to see and admire during a holiday in Esfahan. Isfahan is in Isfahan Province. Plan how to spend your time in Isfahan and other destinations in Iran using our Iran road trip planner.
