Earthlooping and Hssn at the main square of Esfahan
Esfahan is probaby the most famous and the most visited of the Iranian cities. After much reading about it and after spending 4 days there it definitely is a must in any Iranian trip due to its many sights, although you can get a bit disappointed because most of the places are right now undergoing some renovations and the government has transformed some parts of the city into a "too European looking" places. Anyway, you'll love Esfahan, for sure.
What you can for sure skip is a trip to the nearby desert village of Toudeshk. Nothing there but dust and stones and a nice but nothing special guesthouse.

After a 3 hour bus ride from Kashan, we arrived at Esfahan bus station. According to Google maps, there's metro in Esfahan, but that's totally false, so we took a local bus to get to our hostel. In Iran you cannot book any hostel in advance through any of the major Internet booking sites (you can book expensive hotels through Iranian sites or by phone), so the procedure it's always the same: show up at the place and hope there's some bed available. Most of the time it works.
