Practical tips

• Best time: Arrive around sunset for the best light and cooler temperatures, then stay as the city lights come on.
• Dress: Smart‑casual is common at hotel rooftops; most venues have a relaxed but neat dress code.
• Budget: Expect a mix of mid‑range to hotel‑style pricing across venues; some are café‑priced while hotel bars tend to be pricier.
• Getting there: Traffic can be slow—use ride‑hailing services like Grab Myanmar↗ or a hotel taxi to reach rooftop locations reliably.
• Booking: For hotel rooftop bars, check or book on the venue’s official site where available (for example, Sanctuary Sky Bar’s site: https://sanctuaryygn.com/).
