Vientiane

Vientiane is the capital and largest city in Laos. Located on the banks of the Mekong River, the city is home to the massive gilded stupa, Pha That Luang, a national symbol of Laos. The streets are lined with trees, French colonial buildings, street markets, Buddhist temples and noodle shops. Just outside the city is Buddha Park, a garden filled with over 200 cement sculptures depicting the gods and monsters of Buddhist and Hindu myths.

The Laos Experience for Explorers

Studded with limestone spires and gilded temples, riddled with caves and home to rare wildlife, Laos contains a unique charm for adventurous travelers. The oft-overlooked nation is one of the region's leaders in ecotourism and ethnically diverse populations with Luang Prabang standing as perhaps the county's crown jewel.
