While summer can be hot in central Iran, this is an excellent time to explore cooler regions such as Tabriz, the Caspian Sea coast, or the mountainous areas. Winter (except during Nowruz holidays in late March) also offers significant discounts, especially for cultural city tours in Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan.

If you want a balance of good weather and reasonable prices, the late autumn (November) and early spring (February–March) shoulder seasons are ideal. These months give you pleasant weather without the high-season costs.
