Myanmar

Myanmar, formerly called Burma and nicknamed the “Golden Land" is a completely unusual and surprising destination. Back in 1898, Rudyard Kipling wrote: “Burma, a country that is different from all you know”.

Essential

In Yangon, the main city of the country, the majestic Schwedagon Pagoda leaves travelers speechless. The markets are fabulous and offer the opportunity to observe the local life. Mandalay, the second largest city is surrounded by majestic ancient royal capitals. A cruise on the Irrawaddy River or even a boat excursion on the Inle Lake are magical ways to enjoy these authentic places. Bagan is considered as one of the most remarkable archeological sites of South East Asia offering travelers a real time travel through its 3,000 temples and stupas.

Architecture

The temples, stupas, pagodas and other colonial buildings contribute to the architectural richness of Myanmar. Exploring it is the best way to immerse in this rich culture built by the numerous ethnic minorities within the country.

Naypyidaw

This administrative capital houses the majority of different government ministries. Mixing modern and traditional architecture, it offers many places of interest. The Town Hall and the convention center are part of the inevitable.
