Why visit Yangon?
Yangon is Myanmar’s largest city, known for its leafy avenues, shimmering skyline of golden landmarks, and a mix of colonial-era architecture and modern life. You will find lively streets, tranquil lakes, and welcoming neighbourhoods to explore at an easy pace.
What to expect
In Yangon, busy markets, tea shops, and lakeside promenades sit beside grand buildings from the early 20th century. Downtown streets are compact and walkable, while areas around Kandawgyi Lake and Inya Lake offer greener escapes. The atmosphere is unhurried yet full of everyday activity.
Plan your trip
Yangon works well as both a stand-alone city break and a starting point for wider journeys across Myanmar. With its international links and domestic connections, you can combine time in the city with visits to coastal areas, archaeological sites, and cooler highland towns.
