Traditional Burmese cuisine in a comfortable setting; try mohinga or tea leaf salad to start your Myanmar food experience. Check restaurant hours — many open until ~10pm.
Yangon's iconic 2,500-year-old golden stupa and Myanmar's most sacred religious site; visit early to avoid crowds and heat (open daily roughly 4:00am–10:00pm).
Walk through colonial-era streets around Sule Pagoda and City Hall to see architectural contrast and daily city life; best mid-morning after Shwedagon.
Le Planteur offers refined Burmese-French cuisine (reservations advised, usually opens from 6pm); Mona is a long-standing local favorite for authentic dishes.
In Bagan, explore Ananda and Dhammayangyi temples by e-bike or private car (temple zone open daily). In Mandalay, visit the Royal Palace (check open hours) and walk U Bein at sunset.
Watch sunset over pagoda-studded plains from a high point in Bagan or see locals gather on U Bein Bridge — both are iconic experiences (sunset times vary).
