Persepolis
Bedste tid at besøge
Best to come in spring (March to May) or autumn, when temperatures do not exceed 30 °C. The early morning hours right after opening are ideal for taking photos without crowds of people.
Budgettips
Entrance for foreigners costs approximately 200,000 Iranian rials (about 2-3 USD in 2025). It can only be paid in cash, so bring enough Iranian rials.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Hvert år besøger over 500.000 gæster stedet for at beundre den monumentale trappe med 111 trin. Ved opførelsen af dette ceremonielle kompleks blev der brugt enorme 125.000 stenblokke, hvoraf nogle vejer helt op til 40 tons.
Højdepunkter: Vidste du, at de persiske konger her under nytåret modtog gaver fra alle rigets folk, og at der på reliefferne er afbildet 23 forskellige delegationer? Ved solnedgang falder strålerne præcist på Alle Folks Port, hvilket skaber et teatralsk spil af lys og skygge på de tusindårige stenrelieffer.
Insidertips
- Wear a cap and comfortable footwear, the site has almost no shade and you will walk several kilometers over uneven stone blocks.
- The best photos of the Apadana Palace and the relief staircases are taken shortly after sunrise, when the light is softest and the site is still empty.
- Do not limit yourself to the main terrace, detour to the rock tomb of Artaxerxes II at the edge of the site, where there are significantly fewer tourists.
- Bring enough water and light snacks with you, the buffet at the site has a limited selection and higher prices.
