One of the must visit traditional markets in Iran, right around the corner from the Vakil mosque, and the Vakil bath house in the city center. Hidden within the Vakil bazaar; there are courtyards, caravanserais, old square shops and all the spices, antiques, handicrafts and souvenirs one could dream of.

Best time to visit
Considering the dry climate of Shiraz, fall and spring would be the best time to visit for optimal weather. Keep in mind that Shiraz is one of the most popular cities for locals to visit during the Persian new year holidays and booking in advance is recommended during the holidays which is around mid-march.
Where to stay
one of the trends we’ve been loving is the restoration of traditional houses and converting them to boutique hotels. They are popping up everywhere and Shiraz is the central hub for it.
Oscuru Boutique Hotel: this boutique hotel is a must visit in our opinion. It’s a classic traditional home, located in the old part of town and it was definitely one of our favorite stays.
