Yangon holidays

Once known as Rangoon and, until recently, Myanmar’s capital city, Yangon remains a fascinating holiday destination and the cultural and economic heart of the country. While much has changed since the country opened its doors to tourists, Yangon still boasts some of the finest colonial architecture on the continent and the golden domes of its many temples create a unique skyline. While the city’s many parks and open spaces offer respite from the busy downtown streets, the surrounding countryside also offers visitors the opportunity to experience rural life on the Yangon delta. 

With a holiday travel package to Yangon Qatar Airways Holidays, you can explore this historic and vibrant city without sacrificing any of the comfort or style of a luxury holiday.

• Visit one of Buddhism’s most holy sites - the Shwedagon Paya – and marvel at its incredible opulence. Covered in 27 metric tons of gold leaf and reportedly home to eight strands of the Buddha’s own hair, this is one of Myanmar’s most impressive attractions.
• Walk around the Mailamu Paya – a unique sculpture park in which Buddha’s life and religious philosophy are represented by a huge number of statues and displays.
• Head on over to the waterside and TS1 Yangon – Myanmar’s first pop-up gallery and shop. With a focus on current events and culture in Myanmar, this a great place to catch an exhibition, book reading or film screening.
• Explore the enormous number of shopping opportunities on offer. Head to Chinatown for antiques and memorabilia, or Bogyoke Aung San Market for handicrafts, art, and clothing.
