We will start our Myanmar itinerary from Yangon. Since most of the travelers are getting to Yangon International airport or Mandalay international airport coming from Southeast Asia. The most common options are traveling from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. There are cheap flight companies going to Myanmar for this we always recommend to take a look to Skyscanner. Read here how to get to Yangon city center from the airport!

Yangon (Day 1st and 2nd)

Yangon is the largest city and one of the places to visit in Myanmar. We recommend you to stay at least 2 days since there are a few things to do in Yangon. If you are getting to the airport in the morning. It will take you around one hour to reach the city center. The most important part to explore is Shwedagon Pagoda. The most popular pagoda in Myanmar. It would be awesome if you can visit for sunset so you will see the lights at night time. Early morning for the sunrise can be a great idea. We visited Shwedagon Pagoda for sunset and we stay a couple of hours until night time. It’s really beautiful and you will find the place full of locals spending their day there. If you are in a hurry in Myanmar you can visit during the day and take a night bus to Inle Lake. It will make you save a lot of time night buses in Myanmar. If you want to give more time to Yangon. There are a few local restaurants to visit. We liked it 999 Shan Noodle with local food for affordable prices. You can also go around Bogyoke market to buy things and also to eat local food. It’s close from city center. If you want more things to explore in Yangon you can visit parks like Kandawgyi Park.
