Plan language: Norsk BokmålNår du tenker på ting å gjøre i Isfahan i Iran, er et besøk til Naqsh-e Jahan-plassen uunngåelig, en av verdens største bytorg med et areal på 89.600 kvadratmeter. Der skiller Sheikh Lotfollah-moskeen seg ut med vakre fliser, og den storslåtte Imam-moskeen som daglig tiltrekker seg tusenvis av besøkende med sine perfekte akustiske kupler.


Experience a play of light you will not find anywhere else in the world. The visitor passes through a dark hallway to suddenly behold a dome that changes color like a peacock's feathers.
Raske fakta: Under en kuppel på 32 meters høyde endrer dagslyset seg i løpet av dagen og skaper en illusjon av en påfuglhale på innerveggene. Moskeen har aldri hatt et minarett fordi den utelukkende ble bygget for kongefamiliens behov, ikke for offentlige bønner.
Høydepunkter: I midten av kuppelen, i en høyde på 32 meter, er det en liten åpning i form av en påfugl som sollyset trenger gjennom på bestemte tider av døgnet. Denne lysstrålen beveger seg langs moskeens vegger som om den ønsker å berøre hver eneste dekorasjon, og vårjevndøgn retter den nøyaktig mot bønnenisjen.


The sunset through the stalactite vaults of the terrace turns every frame into a masterpiece. You climb wooden stairs while the sounds of an ancient music hall echo beneath your feet.
Raske fakta: The hall with 18 wooden pillars served as a royal loge for watching games of pola below on Naqsh-e Jahan Square. The acoustics were enhanced by recesses in the walls and ceiling shaped like musical instruments, so a whisper from the stage reaches the last row.
Høydepunkter: The most magical detail are the ceilings carved in the shape of lutes and tambourines, which not only look spectacular but were also deliberately shaped to amplify sound. When musicians play in the niches on the balcony, the entire terrace vibrates like a living speaker above the 400-year-old square.


No sunset in Isfahan is complete without a walk across this bridge of 33 arches. Feel the centuries-old stone cool beneath your feet as hundreds of lights turn on above the calm river.
Raske fakta: The bridge with 33 arches stretches 298 meters across the Zayandeh Rud River. Its two-level structure allows walking on the upper level for pedestrians while the lower level serves as a dam for regulating water flow.
Høydepunkter: At dusk, when the 33 arches are lit, the entire bridge turns into a series of golden crescents shimmering on the water. Local poets believe each arch has its own acoustics, so a whisper from one end of the bridge can only be heard by a person standing at the opposite arch.


The only bridge in the world that combines a pedestrian promenade, a dam and a teahouse. Pass through its arches as water quietly flows beneath you and feel the breath of the Safavid era.
Raske fakta: Med 23 buer og 7 meters bredde fungerer denne broen også som en demning som regulerer vannstanden i elven Zayandeh. Om natten blir buene belyst med varmt lys, og tidligere ble det holdt opptredener med te og levende musikk i sittenisjene.
Høydepunkter: Shah Abbas II overvåket personlig byggingen og kom ofte hit for å drikke te mens han lyttet til tradisjonell musikk og betraktet lysets spill på vannet. Den sentrale paviljongen var utelukkende reservert for sjahen og hans gjester, og trappene på begge sider av broen gjorde det mulig for forbipasserende å sette seg ned og nyte utsikten.


Peer into the hall where shahs received foreign ambassadors over wine and poetry. Walk through rooms with original frescoes and mother-of-pearl decorations that are nearly 400 years old.
Raske fakta: Tjue søyler av platantrær omkranser den åpne terrassen, selv om navnet oversettes som "Førti søyler" på grunn av den poetiske effekten av speilingen i vannet. Freskene inne i palasset viser historiske slag og kongelige gjestebud fra safavideperioden, og noen er restaurert etter å ha overlevd jordskjelvet i 1853.
Høydepunkter: Inngangsportene i tre er 4,5 meter høye og utsmykket med utskjæringer i elfenben og perlemor, og hver av dem forteller en annen symbolsk scene. Bare tjue søyler holder taket, men speilet i bassenget skaper en illusjon av at det er førti, noe som var et bevisst triks fra safavidearkitektene.


The only place in the world where a Christian altar is hidden behind a Persian arabesque. Feel the scent of incense as you walk through a courtyard full of orange trees and whispering histories.
Raske fakta: Inne i denne katedralen skjuler det seg en kunstverden som forener kristne og islamske motiver. Veggene er dekket av mer enn 100 overdådige fresker og forgylte utskjæringer som forteller historien om det armenske samfunnet i hjertet av Persia.
Høydepunkter: Når du kommer inn, vil du legge merke til at takene er malt med scener fra paradiset, mens gulvene viser hverdagslivet til armenske handelsmenn. En freske viser en engel som bærer en persisk turban, et perfekt symbol på kulturell sammensmelting som du ikke vil se noe annet sted.


Walk through a living museum of a thousand years of Islamic architecture. Each of the four courtyard portals tells a unique story through different styles of brick construction and ornamental details.
Raske fakta: Kupolene til denne moskeen utgjør et sant arkitektonisk laboratorium for islamsk kunst, hvor man kan se stiler fra hele fire forskjellige historiske perioder. Her ble teknikkene for bygging av mursteinskupoler perfeksjonert, noe som senere skulle bli varemerket for persisk arkitektur.
Høydepunkter: Under den sørlige kupolen skjuler det seg en akustisk fenomen: en hvisking sagt i den ene enden av rommet høres perfekt på den fjerne motsatte veggen, selv når rommet er fullt av mennesker. Denne lydhemmeligheten ble brukt av imamer gjennom århundrene for å forsterke bønnene sine uten noen moderne apparater.


Eight heavens in one place: a palace that leads you through Persian gardens as you walk on a single floor. Stroll through rooms of different colors and feel the breath of history in the colorful stained glass.
Raske fakta: With its height of 32 meters, this pavilion is actually significantly lower than the nearby Chehel Sotoun Palace, but surpasses it in the richness of its painted ceilings, where scenes from court life, hunting, and mythical creatures intertwine. Although it is called "Eight Heavens," the palace has only four floors, and it got its name from the eight rooms on the first floor that symbolize the eight heavenly gardens from Persian mythology.
Høydepunkter: On the first floor, eight rooms surround the central hall, and each was once decorated in a different color and dedicated to one of the eight heavenly gardens, creating the impression that you are passing through a rainbow spectrum as you walk from room to room. Interestingly, the palace functioned as a summer pavilion: water from an underground channel (qanat) flowed through a system of pools on the ground floor, cooling the air naturally before air conditioning ever existed.

Honestly Isfahan surprised me. The bazaar is massive and chaotic but the people were so welcoming. Stayed 3 days, wish I had done 4. The main square at sunset is something else.
Maybe I caught bad weather but the air quality was rough and the traffic is insane. Naqsh-e Jahan square is beautiful but its surrounded by pushy carpet sellers. Felt a bit underwhelmed after Shiraz honestly.
The bridge especially Si-o-se-pol at night with locals singing under it was the most magical travel moment Ive had in years. Simple but unforgettable. Isfahan felt safe and easy to walk around.
Go to the Jameh Mosque around 7am before the bus tours arrive. Youll have the whole courtyard to yourself. Also bring cash, almost no shops take card and the ATMs sometimes dont work with foreign cards.
Skip the restaurants right on the main square. Walk to Saray-e Tala in the bazaar, small place called Haj Mirza. Same food half the price and actual locals. Also download Snapp app for taxis, way cheaper than flagging down cabs.
