Yangon (Rangoon)

3.7
Monuments · Sacred & Religious Sites · Spas
Although Myanmar moved its capital to Naypyidaw in 2005, Yangon remains the largest city and commercial hub in the country. Many colonial-era buildings flank the tree-lined avenues of the city center, boasting end-of-century British architecture styles, while high-rises remain scarce. On a tour of Yangon, you can discover its glittering, gold-plated pagodas and temples, visit a number of interesting museums, and wander its spacious parks. Tea shops, a staple of Yangonese culture, as well as a diverse choice of restaurants await you on your Yangon vacation. Arrange all the small, but important details of your Yangon (Rangoon) trip itinerary using our Myanmar trip planning app.

Where to stay in Yangon (Rangoon)

Shwedagon Pagoda ©
It can be difficult to find decent budget accommodations in Yangon, especially downtown, where rooms are usually small and booked months in advance. Look farther away from the city center for cozier budget options, often with complimentary breakfast included. The Kandawgyi lakeside features a number of high-end establishments.
