When to go to Iran
Do not let the weather ruin any plans of your tailormade Iran journey. The best time to visit is spring (March through May) followed by fall (September and October). Temperatures in the country during these months are ideal for everything from hiking and bicycling to plain sightseeing tours. The country’s arid regions get incredibly hot in July and August, with highs in the range of 40°C. Winter months, on the other hand, can get surprisingly cold. Similarly, snowfall is common in the mountains that surround Tehran between November and February. Learn more.
How long to stay in Iran
Vacations in Iran lasting five days or less will still allow you to cover at least two destinations, such as Tehran and Kashan. With seven days, you can add trips to Persepolis and Shiraz to your itinerary, while journeys lasting ten days mean that you could also soak up the natural beauty of the Great Salt Desert.
No highlight is out of bounds if you have at least two weeks in the country. Time your vacation right and you might also be able to coincide your visit with important cultural celebrations like Nowruz (the Persian New Year), which falls on the spring equinox. Learn more.
Must-visit destinations in Iran
Be sure to tick off Tehran’s multitude of delights before contemplating anywhere further afield. The medieval clifftop fort of Babuk in the country’s far north is well worth a journey by road or air, while Shiraz, one of the oldest cities in the country, is also known for roses and literature. For a destination unlike any other, head to the unique landscapes of the Valley of the Stars on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, or relax instead on the bird-rich shores of Anzali Lagoon. Want to explore Iran’s great outdoors? Follow in the footsteps of nomads through trails that scour the Tâlysh Mountains or head for the Kurdish hamlets of the Zagros mountains instead.
