Shiraz, Iran

Music & Arts Tour in Shiraz

Shiraz's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Shiraz is the city of poets, gardens, and the spectacular ruins of Persepolis. Walking through its rose-scented gardens, ornate mosques, and the nearby ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire reveals Iran's cultural soul.

Top Music & Arts Tour Spots

•Nasir al-Mulk Mosque (Pink Mosque) — a 19th-century mosque famous for its stained-glass windows that cast kaleidoscopic rainbows across the prayer hall each morning
•Persepolis (day trip) — the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire founded by Darius I in 518 BC, with colossal staircases, reliefs of tribute-bearing nations, and the Gate of All Nations
•Tomb of Hafez — a marble pavilion sheltering the tomb of Persia's most beloved poet, surrounded by gardens where Iranians gather to recite his verses and seek divination

Hidden Music & Arts Tour Gems
