Icon of Yangon and one of the main sights of the entire country, Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the inevitable pagodas to visit in this pagoda-ridden country.
You can see it from almost everywhere in the city, as the golden dome of Shwedagon Pagoda towers above almost anything else in the city, nearly 100 metres above its base. You probably pass it on your way from the airport to the city, and even without knowing anything about it, you feel admiration for this enormous building that imposes itself on the skyline of the city. Not only is it an inevitable sight for visitors, it is also considered the most sacred of Buddhist monuments in the country.
