Yangon hotels like a local.
Yangon is a slow-burn city of gold stupas, tea shops, colonial-era streets and lakeside sunsets, but you need to plan with the current security situation firmly in mind.
About Yangon
Yangon, formerly Rangoon, is Myanmar’s largest city and former capital. It remains the country’s main commercial and cultural hub, with Shwedagon Pagoda, the National Museum, Bogyoke Market, colonial-era buildings, street life, galleries and markets giving you plenty to explore. It is also a destination that needs careful planning: current travel advisories warn that Myanmar’s security situation can deteriorate quickly, including risks linked to civil unrest, armed conflict and IED incidents in the Rangoon/Yangon municipal area.
