Isfahan, 2 days in the highlight of Iran - Part I: Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Grand Bazaar & Chehel Sotoun Palace

Former capital of Persia for over a hundred years during the Safavid dynasty, Isfahan is today one of the most impressive cities of modern Iran.

In its central Square, Naqsh-e Jahan, you will find one of the most outstanding open spaces in the world, comprising the main historical sites of the city and declared a UNESCO Heritage Site due to its architectural and historic significance.

During my first day in Isfahan, I explored the central area around Naqsh-e Jahan Square to discover its magnificent mosques, endless bazaar and picturesque gardens and palaces. Check out the first part of my visit to Isfahan, the highlight of Iran!
