    How to get to Yangon

    As one of the only two international airports in the country, Yangon is the perfect place to launch your Myanmar itinerary. Yangon International Airport (RGN) is actually the country’s largest of the two airports and provides direct flights to Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. If you are traveling to Myanmar from Europe, the US, or further afield, you will likely need to transfer via one of these countries. Yangon’s airport is located in Mingaladon, 15 km (9.3 miles) north of the city. You c...

    Best time to visit Yangon

    You can technically plan this Yangon 2 day itinerary for any time of year. However, you should bear in mind that if you are visiting as part of a wider Myanmar trip then some activities such as hot air balloon rides over Bagan and trekking in the more remote regions are only possible at certain times of the year. Myanmar’s dry season is November to February and this is the best overall time to visit the country. This is when you will find the best conditions for trekking, temple hopping, and...

    How to get around Yangon

    In contrast to the vast majority of Southeast Asian cities, motorbikes are not permitted in Yangon. This means there is no option to hire your own scooter or hop on the back of one in this city! The best way to get around the place during your stay is by walking, summoning Grab taxis, and taking the occasional bus ride. My 2 day Yangon itinerary is curated to allow you to walk as much as possible but where this isn’t feasible you are best hailing Grabs. This rideshare app saves you from havin...

    Shwedagon Pagoda

    As Yangon’s most iconic landmark and the most sacred monument in the whole country, one of the top things to do in Yangon in 2 days is to pay a visit to the gilded Shwedagon Pagoda. Located on Singuttara Hill, the golden stupa stands at 99 meters (325 feet) and is set among a sprawling complex studded with even more stupas, shrines, and statues of Buddha. Constructed in the 14th century, the pagoda contains such objects as the staff of Kakusandha, the water filter of Koṇāgamana, and eight str...

    Maha Wizaya Pagoda

    After spending a few hours whetting your appetite for Myanmar’s splendid temples at Shwedagon Pagoda, you’ll be happy to know the next site on your Yangon itinerary is right around the corner. Constructed in 1980, Maha Wizaya Pagoda fuses together traditional architecture with a modern twist. Most of the contents within the pagoda were contributed by the King of Nepal and the murals inside the main stupa depict nature and wildlife scenes. This is one of the rare places in the country where to...

    National Museum

    Myanmar has a rich history and it’s fascinating to take some time familiarizing yourself with its legacy at the National Museum. This expansive museum contains traditional Burmese arts, crafts, costumes, weapons, and household items. Perhaps the most interesting relic in the collection is the Royal Lion Throne (Thihathana Throne) which is one of the eight historic thrones used by the Burmese monarchy. The National Museum is a 20-minute walk from Maha Wizaya Pagoda or you can save time by hail...

    Yangon Circular Train

    For the second morning of your 2 day Yangon itinerary, I am offering you two suggestions so you can choose based on your personal preferences. Option number one is to board one of the city’s most unusual attractions, the Yangon Circular Train. Actually, this is an essential service used by suburban Yangonites to commute into the city, although it has become very popular for tourists. The route takes you out to green pastures and small community villages that dot the edge of the city and you w...

    Swe Taw Myat Pagoda

    If you’re not so fussed about riding the train, then you can head straight to one of Yangon’s holiest shrines. The neat and remarkably symmetrical Swe Taw Myay Pagoda contains a tooth relic of Buddha which was brought to Myanmar from China in 1994. The pagoda was designed to replicate the Ananda Pagoda in Bagan, which you will have the opportunity to see later in your Myanmar itinerary. The Swe Taw Myay Pagoda is open daily, 5 am-8 pm, and the admission fee is 3,000 MMK (1.80 USD). You know t...

    Thiri Mingala Kabar Aye Pagoda

    The Thiri Mingala Gaba Aye Pagoda measures 34 meters (111 feet) in both heights as well as around the base. It was commissioned by U Nu, the former and inaugural Prime Minister of Myanmar in preparation for the Sixth Buddhist Council (Synod). As a devout Buddhist, U Nu took steps to establish Myanmar as a great Buddhist country. The complex also houses the Maha Pasana Cave which is a replica of the Satta Panni cave from India, which marked the site of the first Buddhist Synod. The pagoda comp...
