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.
Budsjettips
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
Raske fakta: Hvert år kommer over 500 000 besøkende hit for å beundre den monumentale trappen med 111 trinn. Under byggingen av dette seremoniellkomplekset ble det brukt hele 125 000 steinblokker, hvorav noen veier opptil 40 tonn.
Høydepunkter: Visste du at perserkongene her under nyttårsfeiringen tok imot gaver fra alle rikets folk, og at det er avbildet 23 ulike delegasjoner på relieffene? Ved solnedgang faller strålene akkurat på porten til alle nasjoner, og skaper et teatralsk spill av lys og skygge på de tusen år gamle steinrelieffene.
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.
