Yangon may no longer be the capital of Myanmar, but it’s still the nation’s largest city, meaning it’s home to a broad variety of entertainment outlets, cultural attractions and business venues that make it perfect for staycations. Yangon is perhaps most famous for its array of Buddhist monuments and relics, the most popular being the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Chaukhtatgyi Paya temple and the Sule Pagoda, a golden temple believed to be over 2,600 years old.

In addition to historic monuments, Yangon boasts a range of museums and cultural attractions that are well worth a visit. The National Museum, Bogyoke Aung San Museum and Myanmar Gems Trade Centre are all popular with locals and visitors alike. Pay a visit to Yangon Planetarium to be mesmerised by a 30-minute illuminated star show.

The Mercure Yangon Kaba Aye is just a short drive from most of the city’s top attractions. Our hotel is also less than 20 minutes from Yangon International Airport, and places like the Myanmar Plaza Shopping Centre, The Central Boulevard, the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC), Myanmar International School Yangon (MISY) and Inya Lake are within walking distance.
