For me, this city is a time machine that took me back several centuries.
Persepolis, an ancient city founded by Darius the Great, is one of the amazing places of the cradle of civilization.Despite the fact that the city was built by A. Makedonsky, many things appear before our eyes in good condition. You definitely need to see this with your own eyes in order to understand how large and Large Persepolis was!
To walk around the entire square and quietly explore everything, it will take 2.5 hours, since not only the city but also higher you will need to climb to the rock tombs for inspection as well as visit the museum.
I advise you to arrive early, as there are a lot of people and it is not so hot in the morning. Leave your backpacks in the car, you will still be forced to hand them over. Take water with you
☝️At the entrance, be sure to rent 3 D glasses, you will not regret it, so you will understand what Persepolis was like in
5th century BC
☝️Nearby, 15 min. There are ancient rock carvings and tombs, Nakshe Rustam and Nakshe Rajab, don't miss it! It's worth seeing.
There are cafes and souvenir shops, locals take food with them and slowly arrange a picnic in the shade, it is very convenient and comfortable.
I hope my advice will help you!
The place where the destinies of civilizations were decided. The history from the textbook lies under your feet and surrounds you from all sides. Be sure to visit! At 40 degrees, thanks to the low humidity, you can quite slowly inspect everything.
