The ideal time to explore the ancient city of Persepolis in Shiraz, Iran, is during the spring, particularly between March and May. During these months, the weather is mild and temperatures are comfortable, ranging from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius (59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). The spring season boasts abundant sunshine that allows for a pleasant exploration of the historic ruins. Moreover, the Nowruz (Persian New Year) celebrations fall within this period, offering visitors a unique cultural experience with festive events and a lively atmosphere.
Alternatively, autumn, spanning from September to November, is another suitable period for visiting Persepolis. Much like spring, autumn provides agreeable weather conditions with crisp air and fewer tourists compared to the peak season. This time of the year is perfect for those who wish to enjoy the site at a more relaxed pace, with the opportunity to take unhurried tours around the impressive columns, palaces, and tombs. The surrounding landscapes are also enriched with autumnal hues, creating a picturesque setting for photography enthusiasts.
