Exploring Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran

After spending an incredible first day in Isfahan visiting the impressive Naqsh-e Jahan Square, for my second day, I would venture beyond the heart of the city to visit the second UNESCO World Heritage Site in Isfahan, the striking Jameh Mosque.

I continued exploring Ali Imam Square before ending my stay in Isfahan discovering the Armenian Quarter of New Julfa and its incredible Vank Cathedral, a big contrast to the predominantly Islamic architecture of Iran!

I reached Isfahan from Kashan with a private transfer organised by TAP Persia, which included a stop at the Fin Garden of Kashan and Abyaneh, a beautiful village located 87km south from Kashan. Check out my post from Kashan to Isfahan: Fin Garden & the red village of Abyaneh!
