Definitely one of the highlights of my entire Iranian itinerary. Just loved this place and the wonderful atmosphere (particularly at night) when a lot of local families come to socialize and have outdoor picnics or take a ride around the square in one of the many horse-drawn carriages.

This is again another amazing architecture gem in Isfahan , both day and night this place is amazing. At night time you have the singers coming singing under the bridge.the bridge from one side does a barrage for the water and from the other side it is a beautiful sound of water going to the river. So peaceful so beautiful.

This bridge is clearly a great favourite with locals, many of whom congregate there to take photos, meet, have picnics and cool down by wading in the shallow waters.

Highlight: history and architecture Worth a visit?? Absolutely yes Need a tour guide: yes. Every corner is a complete mystery that can be solved by a tour guide. Time of visit: during the daytime Recommended length of visit: 1 hour Photogenic views: yes. Take photograph to your heart’s content. Located in a touristic area? Yes Public transport accessibility? Yes. On a trip to Isfahan, the first suggestion is to visit Naghsh Jahan Square. The Imam Mosque of Isfahan is one of the most significant buildings of the Safavid era, formerly known as the Shah Mosque, the New Soltani Mosque and the Jame Abbasid Mosque. This magnificent mosque dates back to four hundred years ago. Shah Abbas I built this spectacular mosque in the famous Naghsh Jahan (Imam) Square in Isfahan to be a symbol of the science and art of Iranian architecture in the world. A magnificent square to the south of which stands a large turquoise colored dome. In the seven-color tiles of Imam Mosque, blue color is superior to other colors, and the tiles have been used in designs, colors and patterns that give the mosque a heavenly and spiritual atmosphere. Another important and of course interesting point is, a 3D perspective view of this mosque is also available on "Google Earth".

The Hasht Behesht Palace is situated in the middle of the long side of Isfahan’s huge ‘square’ and as you climb up to the top so the view becomes better from the balconies. There was a royal music room on the top floor for entertaining which has an amazing ceiling of niches. You will have a much better experience if you book a knowledgeable tourguide who can take you to the best restaurants, coffee shops and souvenir shops to save time in queues and knowing where the best quality for prices are for things like saffron, jewellry, enamelwork, engraving and carpets. We were recommended experienced freelance tourleader, Iraj Honarjou, who made our tour of Persia so much fun as well as memorable. See @ihtourleader on instagram; [email protected]. Iraj also took super photos for us such as this selfie from the palace.
