“I’m off to Pasargadae. There I am friend with the king” (Brazilian poet Manuel Bandeira, 1930)
Pasargadae was once surrounded by marvellous and leafy gardens, so special that the site was both inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage for its historical significance and as one of the earliest examples of the ancient Persian garden layout. The site lies approx. 136km from Shiraz and we do recommend an early start for this two-hour journey.
