Here in Iran you can visit glorious ancient structures like Persepolis, visit most amazing natural beauties like Hara Mangroves, climb high mountains like the Alborz, or just have a cup of tea in Hafez garden. You can swim in the Caspian Sea, or if you want to swim in the winter season why not do that on Kish island, where you can do your shopping as well. In Iran, you will discover different cultures and religions and, a hospitality you have never experienced before.

Iran is expected to experience a tourism boom. Visitors may be surprised to discover the riches the country has to offer, including ancient ruins, pristine beaches and popular ski resorts.

You can enter the country overland via Turkey, either on the old Orient Express route by train or even by motorcycle or bicycle. From Europe, the easiest way to get to Iran is still by plane.  Most flights go to Tehran (IKA), but there are also direct flights to other parts of the country such as Mashhad, Tabriz, Isfahan and Shiraz.

Iran is a country of four seasons. In January it’s possible to have a snowball fight at the Caspian Sea and two days later stand in the Dasht-e Kavir desert at 30 degrees feeding some camels.

The best time to visit Iran depends on what you want to do. Skiing in the Alborz Mountains is only possible in winter, while in the central Iranian deserts it can get incredibly hot with over 70 degrees in summer. If there is something like a best time to travel to Iran, then that would be from March to May and September to November.
