The most recommended month is "April"

April in Iran is the most balanced travel season of the year. The temperature is warm, around 20 degrees during the day, making it very comfortable, and the temperature difference is relatively mild. In particular, flowers bloom in abundance in major cities such as the capital Tehran, Esfahan, and Shiraz, making it the perfect time to stroll through parks and historical buildings. The nature of Iran also becomes more vivid at this time of year, and you can enjoy the lush forests and mountain scenery along the Caspian Sea coast. Tourist spots are not yet fully crowded, so you can travel at a leisurely pace. In addition, the spring festival "Nowruz" has just ended, and the town is still filled with a celebratory mood, making it a good time to enjoy the cultural atmosphere. It is a time with few religious restrictions, making it easy to visit mosques and stroll around markets, and it is the best time to enjoy the diverse charms of Iran.

The least recommended month is "August"

Traveling to Iran in August is not recommended. Especially in the central part (Yazd and Isfahan) and the southern part (Bandar Abbas and the Persian Gulf coast), daytime temperatures can exceed 40 degrees, making outdoor sightseeing difficult. Humidity is also high, and the risk of heat stroke is very high, which is a great stress for tourists. In addition, Iran requires a lot of travel by land, and long-term travel is also physically draining. Daytime activities are limited, and in many cases you can only go out in the evening, which reduces the freedom of sightseeing. In addition, some accommodations in rural areas do not have air conditioning, so you may not be able to spend the night comfortably. In general, it is best to avoid August, as it is difficult to enjoy both nature and culture, and it is also inefficient in terms of cost performance.
