9. Ancient City of Yazd
If you visit Iran, you have to see the ancient city of Yazd, southeast of Isfahan. Just wander the winding lanes that meander through the mud-brick structures and peruse the silk, sweet and handicraft merchants. Even Marco Polo spoke highly of Yazd in his famous travelogue. This 3000 year old center of Zoroastrian culture is like stepping back in time.
10. Naqsh-e Jahan Square
Naqsh-E Jahan Square (also known as Imam Square) is the heart of incredible Isfahan, Iran. This significant historical site was built in the 17th century and is now on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. It’s a stunning testimony to the high life in Persia during this era. The Royal Square (Meidan-e Shah) is so vast and beautiful it was known as “The Image of the World.”
