A beautiful king’s Garden made over 500 years ago, feels like walking in the heaven. Youngest trees in this garden are older than so many countries, it’s a must visit place.

Despite his great work, Amir Kabir’s enemies plotted against him. In 1852, he was dismissed from his position and sent to exile in Kashan. Sadly, he was later executed on the orders of the king. His legacy continues to inspire Iranians today. Many people respect him as a symbol of justice, progress, and patriotism

A beautiful spot to visit, especially before the sun sets. The atmosphere is peaceful and perfect for enjoying the view. However, it tends to get quite busy later in the evening as many teenagers gather there, so visiting earlier offers a more tranquil experience

Perzsa kertek – A Paradigm of Harmony and Design Perzsa kertek, or Persian gardens, represent one of the oldest and most influential garden traditions in the world. Originating over 2,500 years ago during the Achaemenid Empire, these gardens embody a unique blend of art, architecture, and philosophy. Designed to reflect paradise on Earth, they emphasize harmony between human life and nature in often harsh, arid climates. The classic Persian garden follows a geometric layout known as chahar bagh (four gardens), divided by water channels or walkways into four quadrants. Water plays a central role—not only as a life-giving element but also as a symbol of purity and tranquility. Trees, flowers, and aromatic plants are carefully chosen for shade, beauty, and scent, while enclosed walls offer protection and privacy. These gardens are not merely decorative—they serve spiritual, aesthetic, and practical purposes. They often surround palaces, pavilions, or tombs, creating spaces for reflection, rest, and celebration. Famous examples include the Fin Garden in Kashan and the Shazdeh Garden in Mahan, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Despite centuries of change, the essence of the Persian garden remains influential in Islamic and global landscape design, continuing to inspire with its balance, symbolism, and timeless beauty.

I visited Bagh fin, also known as Fin Garden, in kashan last week. The garden is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest and most beautiful Persian gardens in Iran. The garden has a rich history and architecture, with a royal palace, a bathhouse, a museum, and several fountains and pools. However, I was disappointed by the cleanliness and maintenance of the garden. The garden was crowded and noisy, and some of the facilities were closed or under renovation. The water in the pools was dirty and smelly, and some of the plants were wilted and dry. The palace and the bathhouse were also dusty and old, and they did not have enough information or guides for visitors. I think Bagh fin has a lot of potential to be a great attraction, but it needs more care and attention. The garden should be cleaned and repaired regularly, and the visitors should be respectful and responsible. The garden should also have more signs and brochures to explain its history and significance. I hope Bagh fin can restore its beauty and charm in the future.

Persian people have done wonders when it comes to turning desert into a garden 😍😍 this garden is inside city of Kashan, a big rose garden itself. The impact it has on the climate around there is unbelievable. The garden and small fountains helped us refresh in the summer heat (43 celcius degrees even!) had lovely time here

This is a beautiful architecture, showing the wisdom of the early Persians. Beautiful gardens with lots of shade, suitable for sightseeing and resting. Weekdays not very crowded.

Even though it's a historically significant place, it looks more appealing from the distance than from up close. Most exhibits are human remains, and the sight is deserted during the week, which creates a creepy atmosphere

Sialk Hills is one of the first places that humankind has been selected to live back to 8000 years ago. This site so amazing and also thete is a little museum at the beginning of site. It would be exciting for torists and visitors.

without doubt, one of the oldest place humans started to live! for those who are in love with history, this place is like heaven here in sialk hills you are gonna find how amazing IRAN is...

The Sialk ziggurat was built around the 3000 BC. A joint study between Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization, the Louvre, and the Institut Francais de Recherche en Iran also verifies the oldest settlements in Sialk to date back to 5500–6000 BC.[ Sialk, and the entire area around it, is thought to have originated as a result of the pristine large water sources nearby that still run today. The Cheshmeh ye Soleiman ("Solomon's Spring") has been bringing water to this area from nearby mountains for thousands of years. The Fin garden, built in its present form in the 17th century, is a popular tourist attraction. It is here that the kings of the Safavid dynasty would spend their vacations away from their capital cities. It is also here that Piruz Nahavandi (Abu-Lu'lu'ah), the Persian assassin of Caliph Umar, is buried. All these remains are located in the same location where Sialk is. Tepe Sialk was excavated for three seasons (1933, 1934, and 1937) by a team headed by Roman Ghirshman and his wife Tania Ghirshman.[4][5][6] Studies related to the site were conducted by D.E. McCown, Y. Majidzadeh, and P. Amieh. Excavation was resumed for several seasons between 1999 and 2004 by a team from the University of Pennsylvania and Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization led by Sadegh Malek Shahmirzadi called the Sialk Reconsideration Project. Artifacts from the original dig ended up mostly at the Louvre, while some can be found at the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Museum of Iran and in the hands of private collectors. These artifacts consisted of some very fine painted potteries.

One of the oldest sites in Iran. If I want to be honest not many things to see. You need a good tour guide how knows lot about Iran history then you well enjoy it. We visited this site at noon not crowded but No body was there to explore the site for us. And unfortunately the guiding signs are not enough. I suggest you to read about Sialk site before go there.

The ancient area of ​​Silk, which is in the Fin Kashan region, is more than eight thousand years old. This hill is actually the ruins of an ancient Iranian ziggurat.

Amazing! Tepe Sialk and all hills here and the cemetery belongs to 10 thousands years ago! really unbelievable, lots of historical stuffs are here and they are in dangers, the protection is below average.

One of the best places in the world. I wish I lived in that area. When I was there last week I could feel the soul of those who lived there

One of the best and beautiful and awesome homes ever. This also is famous because of very good and perfect way of built and most of architects believe that it would be the most beautiful traditional home in Iran

The Abbassian House is a large historic house museum in Kashan, Iran. It was built during the late 18th century and belonged to a wealthy glass merchant. It is partly converted into a teahouse, a traditional restaurant, and a small shop.

If you have just 1 hour to visit Kashan, I think you would alocate it to visit this mansion. This is the most amazing historical mansion in Kashan and definitely you won't find any other like this.

The Abbasi House is a large traditional historical house located in Kashan. Built during the late 18th century, the house is a beautiful example of Kashan’s residential architecture. Said to have been the property of a famous cleric, the Abbāsi house has six courtyards that would fit the needs of different families. One of the chambers has a ceiling designed with mirror pieces so as to give the impression of a starry sky under the nocturnal glitter of candlelight. Secret passageways were also built into the house, perhaps designed for the escape in times of invasion and emergencies. Despite its apparent similarity to other mansions in Kashan, the Abbasian House is strikingly individual. The family patriarch, instead of adding rooms to his own house as dwellings for his adult children, created an entire complex of six buildings. The number of rooms and spaces in this complex is overwhelming, and their arrangement is unmatched. Its multiple courtyards on various elevations are distributed over an intricate plan. To increase the feeling spaciousness and area, the courtyards of upper floors were made larger than those below. This gradual increase in size from the lowest to the upper levels of the building terminates in a spacious courtyard on top, in front of the richly ornamented reception halls and along the southwest and northeast wings of the house. High porticos and rows of rooms surrounding the courtyard are mirrored in the still water of its beautiful pool.

The Abbasi House is a beautiful traditional historical house located in Kashan, Isfahan Province, Iran. Built during the late 18th century.

Never come to this place. The food is not just bad its harmfull. And they charged us the most expensive bill in Iran

We tried the Tas Kabab and Mosama Bademjan, both prepared with camel meat, and it was a unique and enjoyable experience. However, there was some issues. We ordered Dough, but the price wasn’t listed on the menu. When I asked the waiter, he gave different price explanations, which was confusing. We visited during the winter, and the ambiance was calm and relaxing, which added to the overall experience.💐

A very original restaurant for me, in an interior garden of an old house Good service For an european, a very good place Menu is just in farsi I ate aubergines with rice and camel meat. I drink a melon fresh. 5 euro

The staff was very rude and even though we had a reservation, it took a long time for them to give us an empty table. I emphasize again that the staff's behavior is zero.

Very tasty food and big portions, reasonable prices (same for Persian and tourists, in some restaurants they have separate). Very nice design.

Disappointing Experience: Rude Staff and Unacceptable Wait Times My recent visit to this restaurant left much to be desired. Despite the lack of crowd, the service was abysmal. Waiting over 30 minutes just to place an order is simply unacceptable, and when we voiced our concerns, the staff's behavior was downright rude. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, we were met with hostility and told to leave if we couldn't handle the wait, despite the empty tables around us. Such dismissive and disrespectful treatment is inexcusable and tarnishes the reputation of this establishment. In addition to the appalling service, the overall experience was marred by the staff's attitude, leaving a bitter taste in our mouths.

It's a traditional setting, a lot of noise. But visually not bad.

Try to order Kashan traditional food like Shefteh Somagh + Goosht Loobia Kashoo + yogurt and Doogh. I like their food, they have wireless and clean WC too.

Tabatabaei House is a true gem in Iran's architectural heritage. This stunning historic home is a must-visit for anyone interested in Persian architecture and design. The intricate detailing, colorful tiles, and beautiful courtyard garden make this house a feast for the eyes. Exploring the traditional rooms, wind towers, and reflection pools is like stepping back in time to experience the grandeur of 19th-century Persian lifestyle. Its advisable to get a knowledgeable guide who can provide excellent insights into the history and significance of Tabatabaei House. A visit here is a journey through Iran's rich cultural past that should not be missed!

The Tabatabaei House stands as a testament to the opulence and architectural prowess of the Qajar era. Spanning an impressive 4,730 square meters, this magnificent mansion took nearly a decade to complete. The renowned architect Ali Maryam Kashani, who also designed the Boroujerdi House and the Amin al-Dolleh House, was entrusted with the task of bringing the Tabatabaei House to life. This architectural masterpiece is undoubtedly his magnum opus. Under the watchful eye of the renowned artist Sani al-Mulk Kashani, one of Sani al-Mulk's disciples played a pivotal role in the house's intricate stucco work, paintings, and plasterwork. The overall design was heavily influenced by the beauty and sophistication of Persian carpets, a reflection of Tabatabaei's profession as a carpet merchant. Like many traditional Iranian homes, the Tabatabaei House is designed to be introspective and private. The exterior reveals little about the grandeur within. The house boasts 40 rooms, four courtyards, four basements, three windcatchers, and two qanats (underground water channels). Upon entering the house, visitors are greeted by a relatively small entrance that belies the immense space that lies beyond. A series of steps lead to the spacious outer courtyard, where the magnificent reception hall is located. This hall, with its ornate mirror work, stucco, and muqarnas (stalactite-like ornaments), is a highlight of the house. The adjoining mirrored porch, inspired by traditional Persian carpet designs, is adorned with hanging lanterns. Throughout the house, intricate stucco work, mirror work, and stained glass create a visually stunning and harmonious atmosphere. Every corner of the Tabatabaei House offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The authenticity and grandeur of the Tabatabaei House are unparalleled. Its exquisite decorations, including stucco work, paintings, mirror work, and stained glass, have earned it a reputation as one of Iran's most beautiful historical houses. A visit to this architectural masterpiece is a must for anyone travelling to Kashan.

One of the most beautiful historical houses which is consistent with dry desert weather

most beautiful historical palaces in Iran. everything is perfect. the design, the attention to detail, and the style of making the structure and plan of the house. every inch of this house is representing the pure Persian architectural style that was mixed with Persian culture and art.

I visited Tabatabaee house, also known as Khaneh Tabatabaeiha, in kashan last month. The house is a masterpiece of traditional Persian architecture and a symbol of the culture and art of the Qajar era. The house was built in the 19th century by a wealthy carpet merchant named Seyyed Jafar Tabatabaee, and it covers an area of about 5,000 square meters. The house has four courtyards, each with a different function and style. The main courtyard is the largest and the most elegant, with a pool, a fountain, and a pavilion. The other courtyards are used for guests, servants, and stables. The house has 40 rooms, each with a unique design and decoration. The house features exquisite elements such as stained glass windows, mirror work, plasterwork, paintings, and woodcarvings. The house is a must-see attraction for anyone who is interested in the history and culture of Iran. The house showcases the lifestyle and taste of the wealthy class of the Qajar period, as well as the skill and creativity of the craftsmen who built it. The house is open every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and the entrance fee is 200,000 rials. You can also hire a guide or use an audio guide to learn more about the details and stories of the house.

Classic and soothing! Maybe you already visited many beautiful traditional houses in Iran. But this one could represent modest and sweet Kashani style. The whole yard is quite big and has several suites and sub-yards, don’t miss out.

We were brought to this site by our travel agent who recommended us to this visit this site since it was one of the most beautiful among the many historical houses one can choose to visit in Kashan which is popular for its traditional historic houses and we were not disappointed and it is very beautiful with several open courtyards and fountains.

The historical Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse takes its name from the nearby Imamzadeh, who was a grandson of Imam Jawad (A.S.). Numerous historical evidences indicate that this beautiful bathhouse dates back to the Seljuk era, though the main hall (Sarbineh) belongs to the Qajar period. Some believe that the current bathhouse in Kashan, which attracts many visitors today, was rebuilt on the ruins of the old bathhouse during the Qajar era in 1292 AH (around 1875 AD), and a small bathhouse was also added to the complex.

Tourist trap. 4.000.000 toman (5$). Can be visited in 2 minutes. Bad maintained inside.

The Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse is exquisitely decorated, the main color is blue, is a very unique Persian hamman architecture, the limestone paintings carved on the columns are really impressive. The hamman's dome is also very impressive with its light and ventilation mechanism, and there is a way to go up to the roof. On weekdays, it is also quite crowded with visitors, mainly Chinese tourists, causing noise and disorder.

The historic Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse is an example of the most unique Iranian baths in terms of architecture and decoration with an area of 1102 square meters in the ancient city of Kashan. The bath dates back to Seljuk and Qajar. One of the important items of this building is lime and plaster, with its 17 luminous layers representing its age. Other masterpieces of the building are its beautiful roof.The roof of this bathroom is one of the symbolic places of Kashan and the subject of many photographers.

A very beautiful place to visit, but I would come with a guide, because there is very little information. Price 200 000 rials. I really liked that it was possible to walk on the roof.

The bathhouse is recently restorated and everything looks fresh colorful inside. Walking in the corridors of bathouse was really a good feeling. I felt like walking in the bathhouse scene of gheysar movies

Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse, Kashan, Iran. Built in the 16th century, today the bathhouse serves as a tourist attraction, rather than its primal purpose. The objective of the bathhouse was not only to promote cleanliness, but also to be a place for relaxation, discussions and even praying. A prototype of a modern spa center! As expected in Arabic architecture, the house is decorated with amazing ornamental tiles, some of which are turquoise and gold. The house has two main parts – the octagonal dressing hall called Sarbineh and the hot bathing hall Garmkhaneh. Although hammams were a very big part of Arabic culture, today they are replaced by the indoor plumbing, installed in every household. Therefore the Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse serves as a museum and is registered as a national heritage site.

This was the third time I chose Ameriha Hotel to stay and I still believe it is the best in Kashan. Our stay was a peaceful one. Compared to the previous two stays in the past years, the quality of the room in terms of the freshness of the sheets, bedspreads and toiletries had declined. The sheets and bedspreads were old, the toilet was murky and used, and the shower head had a broken ceiling. But the breakfast was still of excellent quality and the staff was nice. Of course, the receptionist was not very friendly during check-out and departure. But overall, we had a pleasant stay in this beautiful hotel on the first day of spring.

We had a wonderful stay at Saraye Ameriha Boutique Hotel in Kashan and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! The property is absolutely stunning, rich in history, beautifully restored, and very clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and every corner of the hotel felt like stepping back in time in the best way possible. The coffee shop, lounge, and restaurant added so much character to the experience. We especially loved the cozy vibe of the lounge! We also went on a desert tour arranged through the hotel. our driver was fantastic, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. The staff were overall wonderful. A big shoutout to the two gentlemen who gave us the tour inside the Emarat. they were knowledgeable, warm, and really made the history come alive. One of the front desk ladies could have been more welcoming, she didn’t seem too engaged while we were speaking and only addressed one of us, which felt a bit off. That said, another woman at the front desk was incredibly polite and helpful, so it balanced out. We had a minor issue with a nail sticking out of a closet that snagged my shirt, but as soon as we reported it, they fixed it and apologized right away, appreciated the quick response. The restaurant had a great ambiance, though we felt the quality of the meat could be slightly improved. Still, these are small things that don’t take away from the overall experience. Truly a 5/5 stay from the architecture and atmosphere to the service and excursions. We’re so glad we chose to stay here!

Excellent location and beautiful architecture, no doubt. Rooms are extremely expensive per night but the level of hygiene is not reflective of the price you pay. Our room was dirty when we first checked in and they had to send someone to clean it when we were present. Plates and cups were dirty too. Very bad internet and WiFi - almost non existent. Staff are more interested in lurking around like leeches for a tip than genuinely wanting to be helpful. The concierge gave us wrong information about traveling to a nearby village for rose water extraction and we wasted our whole day. Slow service. Money-minded porters. Unclean. I would take your money and stay somewhere else but you can definitely go to the restaurants (mirror restaurant) and cafes of this hotel - just don’t sleep here. Waste of money.

Although the place is very beautiful, unfortunately the service was disappointing. It doesn’t feel like a 5-star experience at all—more like 3 stars, or even 2. The cleanliness and service levels were poor, likely because there aren’t enough staff for such a large property. You’re constantly looking around for someone to help. I’ve stayed at a similar hotel in Kashan before that was much better, with a more reasonable price and much nicer service. Overall, the price here is just not worth the level of service you get.

Hotel Ameriha is a clean, traditional hotel thoughtfully modernized with essential amenities. It offers an excellent atmosphere, outstanding staff, and a fresh, varied breakfast featuring warm bread served by a kind baker.

Staying at this hotel is an experience in itself. Staff was professional and kind. Speak fluent English. Had a great time there.

Staying at this hotel will make you feel like you are a queen or king, living in the glorious and historic era of Iran.

We invited some of our family to this restaurant because of the beautiful atmosphere and the wonderful architecture of the building. When ordering, some of the usual main courses and sides were not available, such as garlic yogurt, local bread, kebab kobideh, olive oil and one or two main vegetarian dishes. For each item, the waiter went to kitchen to see if they could find any which made us upset with this level of service. Reception stated that it was due to busy peak time and ran out of items faster during holiday season and they loaded a number of items for us not all, but it was too late and unacceptable and we decided to leave the restaurant due to that.

The very beautiful atmosphere of the old Ameri house with mirror work and very beautiful architecture. I chose a local Kashan dish called Shafteh stew. It was very tasty and delicious. The staff was nice and I recommend it.

The atmosphere is stunning.. the structure of the hotel is very unique and it is located at the centre of the city. The architect of the cafe is also very riveting and the quality is moderate .

Marvelous place, one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been! However, the portions of food were slightly small! Lovely service, very quick with lovely staff!

Although a bit on the pricier side, the food was very good, the staff courteous and the place itself is just stunning.

One of the only places thas was open in the middle of the day!:)) Lovely environment with cozy beds to sit on and relax and enjoy the food! Amazing Shishlik!

Must go if you’re in Kashan and you want to enjoy good food in one of the historical settings. End up going 2 nights in a row. Good menu, also in English, with enough variety.

This restaurant was real close to historical attractions, so we could straight dine in after our visit. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm, I enjoyed the food, especially kebab. Prices were acceptable considering the quality.

Great value for both food and price. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the “Goosht Loobia.”

A nice place to have lunch if you’re visiting nearby tourist attractions like the Ameriha and Tabatabaei historical houses. The traditional setting is charming and adds to the experience. The food (Chenjeh, Goosht-o-Lobia, and Mixed Kebab) was decent, though not outstanding. Still, it’s a convenient and relaxing stop in the heart of Kashan’s old town. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I ordered the Kashk-e Bademjoon and expected a bit more—it was quite ordinary in taste. However, the Doogh was amazing, and the freshly baked bread made right in front of your eyes was a highlight. Fresh bread: 10/10! The service was truly lovely—everyone was kind, respectful, and welcoming. That made the overall experience much better.

We visited Mozaffari Traditional Restaurant in Kashan and had a nice experience. We tried Shafteh Somagh, Kashk-e Bademjan, and Doogh. The Shafteh Somagh, a local traditional dish made with minced meat and sumac, was tasty and well-cooked. The atmosphere was cozy with beautiful traditional decor. If you enjoy authentic Iranian food and traditional settings, I recommend giving this place a try.

As a tourist guide, I came here with two European tourist. We ordered Dizi, the food was good and the staff were polite and caring. Even salads and pickles were fresh. On public holidays and weekends it's better to come early. Overally, it is recommended.

Excellent food and great atmosphere! Best food we trued in Iran! Fully recommended!

The food is good, but it's significantly overpriced. You can find better kebabs at more reasonable prices elsewhere. It seems that many of the reviews come from tourists or those who may not be as familiar with Iranian cuisine.

หรูหราแบบตะโกน​ 😁 Love​ pickle and beef here. The seats and area are so elegant, clean and comfy. Have normal clean toilet seat, you don't have to squat. And, should get some rose products, price quite high but you can not find it anywhere else. 🌹

Lovely food, with traditional dishes. Catered to vegetarian and meat eaters. Beautiful venue.

The service was great, and the staff were super friendly and very helpful. They offered us free soup and tea. The food was amazing the quality of the chenjeh and barg was acceptable and good. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I will recommend it to my friends. I will definitely return if I come back to Kashan. The proximity to the Fin Garden was also a very good point.

Personally i was not really sure that i would like this place at the first sight But when I got here and tested the foods and experienced the very quite atmosphere I changed my mind The food was really good,and it got a lot tastier during listening to the music In conclusion I recommend this place to people who wish to have a good and tasty experience Good luck!

Food was cheap and very delicious. We came here by accident and didn't thought the food is so good. They offerd us soup and after the meal served us tea for free.

Came with the Persia Reimagined crew. Buffer option perfect for all our dietary requirements. Eggplant was absolute favourite.

Until 2005, no one knew about this underground city. A person digging a well on their property stumbled upon it, and that's when the city of Ouyi came to light. Today, visitors can purchase tickets and explore its underground tunnels at their leisure. We've become so accustomed to modern cities and skyscrapers that it's easy to take advanced construction techniques for granted. But in the Sassanian era, such technology didn't exist. This city was entirely hand-dug, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Beyond its construction, its architecture and function are truly astonishing. The city is divided into three levels, each with numerous tunnels and chambers interconnected by vertical shafts. These shafts, or canals, served as both passageways and ventilation systems. Originally built as a defense mechanism during the Sassanian period, the city provided a hidden refuge and escape route. As we wander through the tunnels, we can't help but imagine the people who sought shelter here. The city is called Ouyi, which means "hey" in the local dialect. One theory suggests that people would call out "ouyi" to locate each other in the dark tunnels. Another theory proposes that the name was given to the city during its construction. The first level is a maze of tunnels, perfect for hiding and escaping. The second and third levels seem to have been designed for habitation, and it's likely that food and supplies were stored here. The city's lighting system is fascinating. Niches in the walls once held oil lamps, providing illumination. The ventilation system was equally impressive, utilizing U-shaped shafts and natural air pressure to circulate fresh air. There are two main entrances to the city. The first leads to a smaller area, and experts believe it may have been reserved for the city's ruler. The second entrance, accessed via a flight of 50 steps, opens into a larger space and was likely used by the general population. Other entrances have been sealed over time. At the heart of the city, there's a large open space that some scholars believe may have been used as a fire temple. Visiting the underground city of Ouyi is a unique experience. As you explore its damp tunnels and narrow passages, you can't help but feel a connection to the people who once sought refuge here.

I visited the Noushabad Underground City last month and I was amazed by the ancient architecture and engineering of this hidden gem. The underground city is a labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, and staircases that were built to protect the inhabitants from invaders and harsh weather. The city is divided into three levels, each with its own features and functions. The first level is mainly for storage and ventilation, the second level is for living and socializing, and the third level is for emergency escape. The city is well-preserved and well-lit, and the guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They explain the history and culture of the city, as well as the ingenious design and construction of the underground network. The entrance fee is very reasonable, and there is a souvenir shop and a cafe near the exit. I highly recommend this attraction to anyone who is interested in ancient history, culture, and architecture. It is a unique and unforgettable experience that you won't regret.

Sorry but if you ever before visited an underground city, this one is not worth it. If it is your first, then you can give it a chance. It is rather small visiting area, we were done in less than 15min. The history sound interesting but the experience is not. You see only the first level, maybe in the future they will expand it to 2nd and 3rd level.

Prove of ancient genius work. And prove of how life always difficult to live. Really good maintain, I wish it is more people to visit then the shop around will not be too lonely and have work to do. Many people also need a nice coffee after visit, for real. ☕

A visit to the Noushabad Underground City in Iran proved to be an exceptional experience that showcased the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its ancient creators. This remarkable site, constructed during the Sasanian Empire and expanded in the post-Islamic era, has only recently been uncovered. Beneath the town of Noushabad lies a complex network of tunnels, chambers, air ducts, and canals that span across multiple levels. As I explored this vast underground sanctuary, I was struck by the incredible engineering prowess of the ancient Persians. Once serving as a safe haven for women, children, and the elderly during times of conflict, the city's importance and scale are truly impressive. My journey through the hidden gem of Noushabad has deepened my appreciation for Iran's rich history and heritage. Exploring the well-preserved living quarters, storage spaces, and water supply systems provided insight into the daily lives of those who sought refuge in this remarkable sanctuary. In summary, the Noushabad Underground City is an outstanding testament to ancient Persian innovation, and a visit to this site is highly recommended for history enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

A huge underground shelter built around 1500 years ago! A most visit. Use the same ticket you bought at the first gate to also visit the second entrance. When returning from the second gate, enjoy a cup of traditional coffee at the small coffeeshop when returning upstairs. Nice helpful staff. Great experience.

A must see place near Kashan at which you will learn a lot about the history of central Iran. Don't miss it if you are interested in ancient history. Just be mindful if you have heart or respiratory diseases. The tunnels are tight and oxygen might be limited although usual healthy people should be fine.

the tomb is placed 15 meters after entrance then left side, a black stone that is belong to Shah Abbas, no one notice generally, but the Mausoleum actually isn't for him,its for Habib mosses apparently he was a saint. this place generally is crowded specially Thursdays or weekend not for them. most because of graveyard, people of there buried bodies of their family there and weekend they go there to pray and ask for blessing

the tomb of King Abbas the great who was the greatest king in Safavid time. taking back all the islands of Persian gulf conquered by Portuguese. making Iranians as an one-allied-nation. throwing Osmanian (old Turkish) out of Iran. having a country with a variety of religions and full of peace n quiet where many tourist could have come. and only there is a poor stone grave for this King in a mosque that people go there more to pray than visit him :(

Now the tomb is in the mausoleum for someone else (Habib Ibne Mousa). Now I don't know which existed there first but apparently when he passed away in Mazandaran they were taking the body to bury him in Isfahan but buried him in Kashan instead. Still whether it was his tomb there first or the mausoleum, it is still a nice place to visit.

not a big attraction for foreign tourists but shah abbas was a great king and deserves better than that

So simple for such a great man

It is placed in meddel of a mosque

not bad

The traditional bazaar of Kashan is a treasure trove of Iranian history and architecture, rightfully recognized as one of the country's national heritage sites. Stretching from Baba Afzal Street to the Gate of the State, this bustling marketplace is home to a multitude of historic structures, including the renowned Mir Emad Square Mosque, the caravanserais of Mir Panj, Zaghaliha, Ghafar Pour, and Rabat, as well as the grand houses of Boroujerdiha and Naraqiha. The bazaar is also famous for its exquisite timchehs (covered bazaars), such as Amin al-Dolleh, Mianchal, Bakhshi, and Seyed Agha, as well as its numerous water reservoirs. Each section of the bazaar was once dedicated to specific trades. For example, one could find coppersmiths and dyers in certain areas, while shoemakers, tailors, and grocers occupied others. Today, visitors can still find traditional craftspeople at work and purchase a wide range of local products, including sweets and herbal teas. Unfortunately, many of the bazaar's original passages and alleyways have been lost over time. However, several historic thoroughfares, such as Darvazeh Isfahan, Sarpehre, Panjeh Shah, Imamzadeh Habib ibn Musa, and Paye Gapan, still exist. Sadly, the passages of Mohammad Saleh Beyk, Turk Abad, Darvazeh Fin, and Gazi Asadollah have vanished, along with the Four-Way Passage, Khan Water Reservoir, and the Door of the Champions. The bazaar reached its peak during the Safavid dynasty, particularly under the reign of Shah Abbas I. It was a thriving centre of commerce, attracting merchants from far and wide. While the current bazaar is largely a product of the Qajar era, it preserves much of the charm and character of its earlier incarnation. Beyond the bustling streets and traditional shops, the bazaar is also home to several fascinating architectural features. The Mianchal, or central hall, is a particularly noteworthy example, with its unique layout and intricate design. The various caravanserais, such as Zaghaliha, No, and Mir Panj, offered accommodation and security for travelling merchants. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply want to experience the local culture, the traditional bazaar of Kashan is a must-visit destination.

The bazaar is incredibly old and large, full of history and charm. However, many of the shops were quite similar, selling the same kinds of goods. While it's still a nice place to explore, I was hoping for a bit more variety in the offerings.

Kashan’s Old Bazaar If you ever find yourself wandering through Kashan, don’t even think about skipping its old bazaar. The moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve walked straight into another century — a maze of narrow alleys, domed ceilings, and soft golden light filtering through old brick skylights. The place smells like a mix of spices, rosewater, and copper — the kind of scent that makes you want to slow down and just breathe it in. Every corner hides something beautiful: tiny shops filled with handmade carpets, brass lamps, and merchants who’ve been here for generations. What makes it even more magical is the way the light dances under the domes of the Aminoddole Caravanserai — one of the most stunning spots in the whole bazaar. It’s quiet, peaceful, and full of that timeless Persian charm that you can’t find anywhere else. Kashan’s bazaar isn’t just a place to shop — it’s a place to feel. It’s history, art, and life all woven together. You walk in as a tourist, but you leave feeling like you’ve just touched a piece of Iran’s soul.

Traditional shop owners and locals are very very conservative and religious and it was a bit difficult to be an Iranian tourist there, despite the unfriendly faces and judging local atmosphere the beauty and authenticity of the place is undeniable. Some new generation art shops are located in many bazar arcades like Sabbagh arcade and Bakhshi carvansaray.

This bazaar is awsome. Walking in tiny streets if bazaar make me feel like walking in silk road. There are still some shops that create handcraft things.

One of the most beautiful traditional Bazaar in Iran. This is very nice and attractive where people go there to buy different things since hundred years. Do not miss a chance to visit Aminodole Caravansary.

A nice traditional bazaar in the heart of Kashan. This is a typical Iranian bazaar. It is catering more to the needs of the inhabitants than to tourists and it is just interesting to walk through it and see life unfold. There are some old caravanserais in the bazaar itself also.

The Grand Mosque of Kashan stands as a testament to Iran's rich architectural heritage, dating back to the Seljuk era. Located in the historic Baba Afzal Street, this magnificent mosque has witnessed centuries of worship, cultural exchange, and architectural evolution. Originally an ancient fire temple, the mosque underwent a transformation with the advent of Islam in Iran. While the exact date of its conversion is uncertain, historical records suggest that it was well-established by the Seljuk period. Excavations and analysis of the intricate stucco work in the mihrab (prayer niche) reveal influences from both the Seljuk and Buyid eras, showcasing a fascinating blend of architectural styles. The mosque's summer prayer hall, situated beneath the winter hall, is adorned with exquisite tile work. The discovery of ancient kiln remains in the floor of this hall by cultural heritage experts suggests that the site was once a center for ceramic production. The mosque's prominent brick dome, believed to have been reconstructed after a devastating earthquake in 1192 AH, bears a beautiful inscription dating back to 1207 AH, commemorating its restoration by Abdulrazzaq Khan Kashi. Beneath the layers of history, the mosque reveals even older structures, hinting at a pre-Islamic past. The presence of ancient kilns and other artifacts suggests that the site may have been a significant center of activity long before the arrival of Islam. According to historical accounts, the mosque was built at the behest of Safieh Khatun, daughter of Malik Ashtar, a prominent figure in early Islamic history. This attribution further enhances the mosque's historical significance and its connection to Islamic traditions. Today, the Grand Mosque of Kashan continues to serve as a spiritual and cultural hub for the community. Its intricate architecture, historical significance, and enduring beauty make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore Iran's rich heritage.

It's a nice mosque. It is not as important as historical houses, Fin garden or the old Bazar but if you have some extra time you should visit Agha Bozorge mosque and Central Mosque in Kashan. The mosque is very old and authentic you should know that this mosque is not always open but on the prayer time it's open for sure. it also worth to take a look to its historical background and with this knowledge you will enjoy visiting it for sure.👌

Wasn't able to see it from the inside because they said it is being used. It was really old yet nice. It is said that it has a wrong and a right mehrab and it was built on a fire temple.

Very best

One of the most beautiful I've been to

the oldest building in the city

(Translated by Google) Kashan Jame Mosque with tall minaret and beautiful altar is still in use. But bad taste and irregularity are evident in it, as if it is not a historical place. (Original) مسجد جامع کاشان با مناره بلند و محراب زیبا هم اکنون در حال استفاده است. ولی بد سلیقگی و نامنظمی در آن هویداست, گویی یک مکان تاریخی نیست.

My sis and I stayed for 2 nights in room No. 101, with traditional arch style roof. The room has a great view to the yard. It was Feb. 2023, outside was cold but inside the mud and straw room was warm enough that we just open the radiator a little. The staff were friendly and guide us great to good and reasonable restaurant. It was our 4th trip to Kashan so we had seen many points before, but they stiil had good recommendations for us. It has a good location, since it is near the Bazar, tradional houses and restaurant.

A really nice place to stay, especially if you like the more traditional style of lodging in Iran and happen to be tired of worn down, boring hotels. I stayed here in October and got a double room sans bathroom (separate) for $35/night. It's basic with hard but comfortable beds. In general, I loved the place! The ambiance, the beautiful courtyard, great food and swift service was really really good. The staff were most helpful, although not the most happy ones... Decent breakfast!

We stayed in this traditional hotel for 2 nights. We were lucky that it was empty and we were given a great room with private toilet. The staff is ultra friendly and the place is clean. We read some bad reviews about it being too crowded during peak season and small rooms, so I guess they will be true but that was not our experience traveling in November.

Superb guesthouse in a traditional Iranian house at the center of old Kashan. Personnel is welcoming and helpful. Lovely garden with pomegranate trees where a good breakfast is served. Possible to dine at the in-house restaurant. As for most traditional Iranian homes, rooms are not sound and light proof, but beds are comfortable

An oasis in the oasis: This guest house is a gem in the desert. The rooms are simple, but furnished with love. There is a beautiful garden in the courtyard to relax. You can also find secluded spots on the roof. The staff is very friendly and always smiling. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.

The house is one of the famous old-age houses in Kashan, but not as exciting as the most popular house. The Iranian architecture is as well as you want but the finishing look is simple and without ancient plaster detail. From the other side, the hotel has a good relax mood in the central yard with a pool and fountains besides of pomegranate trees. Rooms was good and clean, Breakfast was not covered my taste of historical city of Kashan, it should have a more domestic recipe instead of packed goods. The hotel does not serve lunch but the dinner was good.

Probably the best place to stay in Kashan. The rooms are very clean and pleasant. The bathroom was nice and the AC perfectly working. People working there are super nice and will do their best to help you with everything you need. The breakfast is very good. Also the view from the rooftop is beautiful. We would for sure come back to Ehsan if needed.

A spectacular place, consisting of an old mosque and an active madrasah (Islamic education centre). It has a free entrance It has great architecture designed to have impressive acoustics. I'm not sure, but I guess the mosque isn't active. It was a huge open area with no mosque setting, carpet etc.

The mosque was built in the late 18th century although it is a mosque and theological school at the same time. Visiting this mosque is free of charge but like other mosques in Iran, women need to wear a scarf which will be given to them at the entrance. The most beautiful part of the mosque is its Mihrab.

The architecture is perfect from every angle, with a garden embedded in the underground floor, like most of the historical buildings in Kashan. They also provide body scarves for female to enter, better to bring your own headscarf on top of that.

Happened to visit this mosque during our free time as it was very close to our hotel and it was really worth a visit. I wonder why our travel agent did not include this site in our list of must see attractions in kashan.

"The historical mosque, built in the late 18th century, is famous for its precise, symmetric architecture and attractive appearance. It is a good example of Persian architecture with a central courtyard and a pool in the middle." It also has an active theological school which is not open to public.

I was there at sunset and the combination of a purple sky and the lights lighting up the mosque was a unique experience. Totally recommended at night but I guess it must be awesome at sunrise too.

Its huge dome is the main attraction of the mosque. It is located in the historical center of Kashan

The Taj Historical House, a magnificent example of Qajar-era architecture, has stood for nearly two centuries in the heart of Kashan. This beautifully preserved residence has been recognized as a national treasure and is now open to the public. For many years, the Taj House lay abandoned until it was purchased in 2004 by the renowned architect Seyed Akbar Hali. Under his expert guidance, the house underwent a meticulous restoration process that lasted a year. Since its completion, the Taj House has been a popular destination for visitors seeking a glimpse into Iran's rich architectural heritage. The house features a unique combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a sunken garden. The exterior of the house is designed around a central courtyard, while the interior is divided into two main sections. Among the many notable features of the house are its four external basements, two internal basements, a windcatcher, a grand reception hall, a moonlit room, a five-door room, an entrance vestibule, and several seasonal rooms. The main porch offers a shared space between the inner and outer courtyards, providing a versatile area for both summer and winter use.

A historical home located in heart of Kashan just near to other historical mansions. This is goid to take a look and also the museum of anthropology of Kashan is in this house.

This building is one of the Kashan's original sunken garden with two century old, this house's valuable native architecture is an example of Kashan public people noble house in the last two centuries.

An old and cultural house and interesting for visiting

I like it, it's beautiful

Nothing to see, too expensive ticket

The most interesting of all these houses in my opinion.

My tour guide introduced this restaurant to me. I want to let my friends try the traditional food. The foods are OK but in small amounts.

Order Gusht Lubia and find the taste a bit bland and tasteless. This also my first time try Shevid Polow which was very delicious. I'm not sure they are charging me the tourist price as I do not really pay attention to the price when I order. Since they are giving me receipt i'm assuming the price is correct. Only when I come back and refer to the review where someone posted the menu online, the price is totally diffrent.

Nice foods: Shefte Somagh and Goosht o Loubia, Great atmosphere, kind people, lovely place.

Very nice restaurant. Much more cheaper than places recommended by LP.

Nice atmosphere and kind staff, but ordinary food. There are limited choices of food, especially for local foods. We ordered Shefte Somagh and Polo Goosht Loobia (rice-meat-beans) which were both ordinary. We asked waiter to change the bread on the table which was rather old but he answered that we do not have fresher one. We arrived there around 3:00 pm but about 4:00 pm, after we finished our meals, they turned off the light which meant we have to leave the restaurant!

The menu is very limited but the food is traditional Kashani and Iranian and the quality is great and the prices are fare. Also the atmosphere is pretty cool.

There is more than 600 old house in Kashan that was registered in UNESCO, Negin house is one of them, such lovely place that you feel you live in 18th century.

We have just used their restaurant. Foods are expensive but the volume is not proportional to the expense you pay. Restaurant is located in the underground floor and you should walk through many steps. It's beautifull but not acoustic and sound of other people may not be pleasant.

What an amazing place. It felt like staying in a freinds house. Normally I am nervous traveling and staying out in Iran. This hotel blow my mind. It’s impeccably clean, offers delicious healthy meals and served by attentive friendly local staff. The building has been restored with live and attention. Would love to return with the rest of the family.

I have stayed in Manouchehri house many times throughout the years and I have always enjoyed it. Renovation, interior and attention to details are done with exquisite taste. The staff are helpful and the food is amazing. I’ll come back.

A beautiful, full of greenery, cozy, clean, and well-decorated house with polite and friendly staff. The place is historic and is definitely worth visiting. The restaurant is so clean and the ambiance is great. Don’t forget to organize faloodeh-bastani 🍨 sitting in front of the small pool.

Well, we just went there for lunch and overall find both locations very satisfying. In my opinion you can’t find any better place to eat or stay in Kashan. So just put some empty hours aside for this piece of heaven and go relax and surf the web while chilling on the comfy sofa in the patio.

I was accompanying my group to stay in Manouchehri house (second building). It was really good experience to stay there. rooms are so simple and traditional-modern decorated. the only thing is hang-wall toilet height was too high, that even me that I'm tall, couldn't sit easy. breakfast could be better but it was good.

The architecture is quite mesmerizing. I didn't stay at the hotel but I did have dinner in the restaurant. The menu was consisted of all traditional kashan dishes. The food was delicious and had a great quality. The staff were professional and kind. The toilets were clean and the overall environment of the house depicted tranquility that is why I assume the hotel could be the same.

If you’re visiting Kashan, Morshedi Restaurant is an absolute must! Located in a beautifully restored traditional house, the ambiance perfectly blends authentic Persian architecture with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is outstanding — everything is fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. I highly recommend the dill rice with meat (شوید پلو با گوشت) and herb rice with meat and beans (سبزی پلو با گوشت لوبیا). Every dish reflects the rich culinary heritage of the region. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make your experience memorable. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, Morshedi offers a perfect mix of tradition, taste, and hospitality. Definitely the best restaurant in Kashan!

The atmosphere was inside a beautiful old house. The quality of the food was reasonable compared to its price and portion size. The restaurant had a private parking lot, but there was no staff to organize it, and the number of parking spaces was not sufficient for all customers, so you had to park elsewhere.

I had a great time at morshedi restaurant in kashan. The restaurant is located in a historic and charming area of the city, near the Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse and the Agha Bozorg Mosque. The restaurant is housed in a renovated old mansion, with a beautiful courtyard and a fountain. The restaurant has a cozy and elegant atmosphere, with traditional music and decor. The food at morshedi restaurant is delicious and authentic. The menu offers a variety of dishes, such as kebabs, stews, salads, soups, and desserts. The ingredients are fresh and organic, and the spices are aromatic and balanced. I especially enjoyed the chicken kebab, which was succulent and tender, and the gheymeh bademjan, which was savory and hearty. The restaurant also serves fresh bread, yogurt, and tea. I recommend morshedi restaurant to anyone who is looking for a nice place to eat in kashan. The restaurant has a high quality of service and a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they make you feel at home. The restaurant is open every day from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm. You can also check out their website or their Instagram page for more information and photos.

Ι found it by chance. It was next to the hotel I was staying at...and it actually belonged to the hotel The restaurant was spotlessly clean, the food was delicious, and I can say that it was perhaps one of the best meals I had on my trip to Persia. Excellent service from the staff. I highly recommend it.

The meat and beans were average, but the meatballs and kashk-e-bademjan with whey were delicious. The atmosphere was cozy yet busy. Prices were a bit high, and the service wasn’t very good.

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere and excellent staff. We visited Morshedi restaurant for a late lunch and returned for every meal of our trip. The restaurant is located in an annex within walking distance to the Morshedi house. The restaurant is separated into two main sections; the coffee shop which is located on the top street level and the restaurant which is in the lower court. The entire building is tastefully renovated with food being served in the courtyard or several large dining halls that can accommodates groups. The atmosphere is very relaxing but the staff also greatly contributes to feeling welcomed. They are famous for their meat balls but our favorite was a simple meal made from white beans and meat served with cilantro rice. Parking specifically for the restaurant is available in a lot within walking distance but we suggest you park on the main streets and enjoyer a walk in the beautiful ancient ally’s of old town Kashan.

A very good restaurant at the heart of the historical quarter of Kashan. It is highly recommended to come to this place and enjoy some traditinal Iranian foods. I tasted MORGHE MOSAMMA (chicken and eggplant) and it was very good. The prices are reasonable and the environment is cozy.
