Vakil Mosque, a stunning 18th-century structure in Shiraz, Iran, is easily accessible, though modest steps may be present at entrances. While enjoyable solo, a guided visit is highly recommended to fully appreciate its rich history, intricate tilework, and the unique 48-column prayer hall. It's open year-round, with spring and autumn offering the most pleasant weather, though summer heat or winter cold don't significantly impede an indoor visit; check for shorter hours during religious holidays. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, often costing a small entrance fee (around $1-2 USD) which may include other parts of the Vakil Complex, making it an excellent combined destination with the Vakil Bazaar and Bath. Visitors should dress modestly (women with covered hair) and remove shoes before entering the prayer hall, with photography generally permitted respectfully.
