Bishapur was an ancient city in Sasanid era. The road linked the Sassanid capitals Estakhr (very close to Persepolis) and Ctesiphon. It is located south of Shiraz. There are lots of structures there from Sasanid to Ilkhanid Era. The most beautiful and important part of the city is Anahita temple which is figure as the divinity of the Waters and hence associated with fertility, healing and wisdom Try to go there with a local guide who they explain completely about history of this amazing ancient city.

Eram garden in Shiraz is one of the nine UNESCO inscribed cultural heritage sites as Iran's Persian Gardens and also kind a botanical garden. The best time for visiting this amazing garden is March and April which the air is permeated with the scent of orange blossoms and all trees and flowers look fresh and pristine. Plus there is a awesome mansion with 7 color tiles. In addition, there are some Cedar trees in Eram garden that very they are famous. All in all, the panoramic views of the garden, the aroma of flowers, the splendid view of old cypress trees and the grandeur of ancient building enchants visitors from all over the world and these are some of the reasons this unique garden has become one of the most visited attractions of Shiraz
5. Tomb of Hafez

Reviewed By IranDestination - Shiraz, Iran
This place is special because of its spiritual atmosphere which makes it different from other tourist attractions. Hafez and Ferdowsi are the most important Iranian poets, so much so that Goethe considers himself influenced by them and has dedicated a book to Hafez. Hafez’s poems contain deep philosophical meaning that have kept their effect throughout the ages; so different people with different levels of education and age can interpret different meanings off of them. Furthermore, these poems have tremendously helped the Iranian music industry grow. Thus the effect and influence these poems had on Iranian culture are quite shallow and vast and you can find a copy in almost every Iranian house. Traditionally these poems are also used for fortune telling: people think about a specific matter and open a random page, the tray to foresee the future based on the poem, this is sometimes done by street badgers who use a trained bird who pulls the poem out, but many people do not do this due to the possibility of poems being pre-selected. When you visit Hafez’s tomb you might see many Iranians reading the poems and crying which is due love the feel towards Hafez.

Shiraz's Shah Cheragh Shrine is a very interesting place to visit, as it gives a good exemple of what Holy Shrines look like in Iran. The dome, with its rosebud shape, is a typical feature of Shirazi architecture. Non-muslims visitors are accompanied by a guide, for free, who give them insight about the place and its history. It's also possible to visit a small part of the interior, to see the mirror-work. Like in all holy shrines, women are required to wear a chador, which can be borrowed for free at the entrance. It's also interesting to visit in the evening, after sunset. The lights makes the place even more beautiful and the atmosphere is very lively, with many families gathering in the yard.

maximum 40 kilometers far from Shiraz city ,Iran there is one of the most important necropolis in whole of the world, backs to the ancient history .it is called Naghshe Rostam in Persian Language. 5 kilometers far from this ancient Necropolis was located the capital of the Achaemenid Empire (Persepolise c. 550–330 BC) it is something mysterious ,glorious,you can walk through the history.it is good reminder for glory of Persian empire. The rock tombs belong to four Achaemenian kings. afterwards The ancient tombs attracted Sasanian kings as well. They wished to imitate the glory of the Achaemenian kings; maybe that is why they created huge reliefs besides the tombs. but there are different evidences which shows in the Elamite period ,this place also was very important.rock relief in this sacred place shows that this place was apparently located near one of the political and ritual capital at ancient time. i can not forget this cultural site ...

This was our first taste of a secular building a garden in Iran, and what a treasure it is. As so often in Iranian garden design, there is a lovely long pond with fountains, and many lovely trees and plants. The pavilion at the bottom of the garden has beautiful stucco work, and carved wooden pillars. But it is the reception hall which takes the breath away with the mirror mosaic and tile work. I personally found it more tasteful than the Golestan Palace in Tehran. The adjoining private family quarters is not quite as grand, but still very beautiful.

Shiraz is a must-see in Iran. You should spend at least two full days to visit the city. It's a small city which can be visited by foot or local taxis. The bazaar and Vakil Ensemble (Hammam, Mosque) can be visited over a few hours, and there are several traditional Persian Gardens to visit, which are quite famous, such as Eram Garden. Also, the Pink Mosque (Nasir ol Molk) is an absolute must-see to visit, preferably in the morning to enjoy the color reflections. Shiraz is one of the most liberal cities of Iran and has a nice atmosphere, with nice cafes to spend time at.
