The artistic Yangon, formerly Rangoon and the former country capital, is Myanmar’s largest city and its most populous as well. The low-profile town has some surprising things to its credit—it houses Southeast Asia’s largest number of colonial structures, it is home to Burma’s most sacred and important Buddhist pagoda, and it is also where the last Mughal emperor of the empire is buried. Travellers will love the downtown area, which features remarkably intact colonial-era architecture, notwithstanding the brick-by-brick rebuild that the city is going through. For the best base for exploring this amazing destination, there are multiple options for hotels, resorts, and even choices for apartments. Here’s where to stay in Yangon, Myanmar.
