Discover Myanmar

Why visit Myanmar?
Myanmar offers golden pagodas, misty temple plains, and river valleys that feel timeless. You discover a country where historic cities and quiet villages share the same gentle pace.

What to expect
From Yangon, with its colonial architecture and glittering Shwedagon Pagoda, to the temple fields of Bagan and the stilt villages of Inle Lake, each region reveals a different side of the country. Mandalay and the Irrawaddy River add layers of history and river life to your journey.

Plan your trip
You can combine city sightseeing in Yangon with journeys to lakes, mountains, and archaeological sites across the country. Myanmar also acts as a gateway to wider South and Southeast Asia, easily paired with time in Singapore on the way.

Experience Myanmar's way of life

Getting around
You will usually arrive in Yangon, then continue by domestic flight, private car, or organised transfer to other regions. Between major hubs such as Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, and Inle Lake, domestic flights save time, while river cruises and long-distance buses offer slower overland routes.

Local life & culture
Daily life in Myanmar unfolds in tea shops, neighbourhood markets, and shaded monasteries. You notice different traditions and languages as you move between coastal areas, central plains, and hill regions, with each community expressing its own crafts, festivals, and ways of welcoming visitors.

Where to unwind
Across the country you can find quiet places to pause, from lakeside guesthouses and riverside terraces to mountain retreats in cooler hill towns. Coastal resorts and peaceful gardens in larger cities give you space to rest at the end of a day exploring.

A taste of Myanmar

National dishes & specialties
Myanmar cuisine blends influences from neighbouring countries with its own flavours, often centred on rice, noodles, and rich salads. Yangon, Mandalay, and coastal regions each offer their own takes on classic dishes, with plenty of simple eateries serving local favourites.

Casual & modern dining hubs
In Yangon you will find street stalls, tea shops, and relaxed modern cafes side by side, making it easy to try different flavours in one walk. Other cities and major towns offer small restaurants and family-run spots where you can sample regional cooking in a casual setting.

Signature & scenic dining
You can dine by the river in Yangon, overlooking temple silhouettes in Bagan, or with lake views at Inle. Roof terraces, garden restaurants, and simple waterfront venues turn a meal into a memorable part of your day.

Retail therapy in Myanmar

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Yangon offers a growing selection of modern shopping centres with international brands, services, and eateries under one roof. Smaller cities tend to have compact malls or plazas where you can pick up essentials during your journey.

Markets & local crafts
Traditional markets are where you will find textiles, lacquerware, and everyday goods, especially in Yangon, Mandalay, and Bagan. Hill regions and lakeside towns showcase local crafts, from woven fabrics to handmade souvenirs that reflect regional styles.

Evening retail scene
After dark, parts of Yangon and other larger towns stay lively with illuminated shopfronts and street stalls. Small night markets and late-opening shops give you a chance to browse snacks and simple goods after a day of sightseeing.
