Visiting destinations like the Shwedagon Pagoda and Kyaiktyo Pagoda allow you to experience the places that connect the people of Myanmar to their ancient past.

The best places to visit in Myanmar Spiritual Destinations

Yangon

Yangon

Once the colonial capital of the British empire, Yangon is a city that represents the ancient, the old, and the new. With pagodas that date back several millennia, century-old remnants of colonialism and constant construction on new high-rise buildings, Yangon represents both the history and future of Myanmar. It just takes a little exploration and one is quickly immersed in the diversity this city has to offer.

Bagan

Bagan

Leaving early under the cover of darkness is the only way to experience one of Myanmar's most breathtaking spectacles — sunrise in Bagan.

Mandalay

Mandalay

Built along the Ayeyarwady River, the city of Mandalay is steeped with both ancient and modern cultural intrigue. High red-bricked walls and a large moat separate the ancient palace from the rest of Myanmar's second largest city. Inside the fortifications sit a completely reconstructed palace, much like the one that stood there in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Mrauk U

Mrauk U

Southwestern Myanmar, formerly home of the Arakan Kingdom, stands on its own from the rest of the country for most of its history. During the majority of Burmese rule, it remained a powerful autonomous kingdom. The gray stone-and-brick temples and pagodas in Mrauk U stand as the final testament to the last great Arakan Empire. Unfortunately, the current political situation has made visiting this site impossible. As soon as life in Rakhine stabilizes, we will update this page with new information and visitors can once again see this stunning piece of Burmese history.
