Designed by prominent Burmese architect U Tin, Yangon City Hall was completed in 1936. A well-balanced blend of western and local architectural styles, the elegant white building features a classic colonial build combined with traditional Burmese tiered roofs and intricately ornamented pillars and arches. It’s listed on the Yangon City Heritage List.
Most Yangon city sightseeing tours include a stop here, along with nearby attractions such as Sule Pagoda, the High Court, and Independence Monument and Park. For a more personalized experience, book a private or small-group tour. Add on a trishaw ride for a taste of local life.
Yangon City Hall is located at the very center of Yangon, next to Sule Pagoda and across from Maha Bandula Park. For those not visiting as part of a sightseeing tour, Vandoola Park Bus Terminal and Sule Station are both located nearby.
Only those on official business can actually enter Yangon City Hall. It can be viewed from the outside at any time. Yangon City Hall is also a popular spot for political and other demonstrations, which can affect access to and from the area.
Yangon City Hall is within walking distance of several popular landmarks in downtown Yangon, including Sule Pagoda, Maha Bandula Park, the High Court, the Main Post Office, the Independence Monument and Park, and the Immanuel Baptist Church.
