Kashan is famed for its restored 19th-century merchant houses, with elaborate stucco, stained glass and courtyards arranged around reflecting pools, alongside the formal Persian gardens of Bagh-e Fin. Often visited as a stop between Tehran and Isfahan, its compact historic centre and nearby desert villages make it a rewarding low-key addition to an Iran itinerary.

Traveler reviews

★★★★★

The Tabatabaei House was breathtaking — the light through the stained glass onto the courtyard pool was stunning. Glad we stayed overnight in a traditional house too.

Sara N. · April 2024

★★★★☆

A nice slower-paced stop between Tehran and Isfahan. The day trip to Abyaneh's red-mud village was a highlight, very different from the city.

Otto W. · October 2023

★★★★★

Bagh-e Fin's gardens with the constant sound of running water were so peaceful after busy Tehran. Kashan feels manageable and friendly.
