Iran

You could literally spend the full week in Tehran, but if you show some discipline with what you're seeing/not seeing then those three cities are doable.

I've read that Tehran is fairly boring and not worth staying for long. If you had to pick 2 cities out of the three I mentioned, which would you leave out and why?

Are you a muslim? The charms of Shiraz might be a bit lost on you if you aren't, but the architecture's worth seeing regardless.
I'd probably be inclined to give Yazd a miss, I've only been there the once.

My Tehran experience was made by having Iranian friends, I'm not sure what it'd be like solo travelling, I guess it could be dull.

I visited in April for three weeks and this part of the country was fucking flooded with tourists...

Out of the three cities you mention I found Isfahan to be the nicest (and probably the nicest city I've seen in Iran). There still were tourists but not as obnoxious as Yazd and Shiraz. Shiraz was at least pleasant when you were not in a sight. People I met in the trip kept telling me how beautiful Yazd was because it was kinda arabian nights like but I've been to Bukhara and Khiva and those beat the shit out of Yazd TBQH. I liked the surroundings of Yazd better (Kharanaq, Chak Chak and the towers of silence

My favourite parts of the country were Mashhad and surroundings and the Golestan Povince.

But if you are into islamic/persian architecture/history you'll find little pockets of joy everywhere

I'll be travelling with my sister and we don't have a rigid plan. I suppose we'll give up on Yazd and spend more time in Isfahan and Shiraz, thanks.

Are concerts of traditional Persian music common? I've been to them in Poland but I'd love to hear it in Iran.
