Activity itinerary

Sule Pagoda
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
We will pick you up from your hotel in Yangon: our guide and driver will be around 8 am in your hotel lobby. Our first stop of this morning tour is the Sule Pagoda, dating back over 2,000 years, surrounded by government buildings. Throughout the day, Sule Paya is busy with local pilgrims and monks who come to pray and pay their respects to the Buddha relic placed here by descendants of historic, distinguished leaders.
Yangon City Hall (Pass by)
From there you can see the city Hall, the High Court as well as the Independence monument situated in Mahabandoola Park with its victory monument right in the heart of the park and where all the young generation and families are coming to spend their evening.
Bogyoke Aung San Market
  • 1h
Within a short drive from the Pagoda, we will proceed to the Bogyoke Market, or better known as Scott’s Market (closed on Mondays and public holidays). Undoubtedly offering the largest selection of handicrafts in Myanmar, the market is a great place to discover a bargain and have fun haggling with the local traders.
Kandawgyi Lake (Pass by)
Surrounded by a lush park, the calm surface of Kandawgyi Royal Lake remains one of the main spots for relaxation and activities for residents.
Shwedagon Pagoda
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
After a photo stop at the Karaweik Hall (a replica of a traditional Burmese Royal Boat) on Kandawgyi Royal Lake, you will complete your Yangon Impressions with an extended visit to one of the world’s most spectacular monuments, the sacred Shwedagon Pagoda. Towering almost 98 metres above the green cityscape of Yangon, it is one of the wonders of the religious world. It is believed to have been built more than 2500 years ago and is a testament to the faith of the Burmese nation. This magnificent building is covered with hundreds of gold plates with the top of the Stupa encrusted with 5448 diamonds. After this half-day through the former capital of Myanmar, your guide and driver will transfer you back to your hotel where you will arrive around 12.30 pm.
