Arrival in Vientiane. Transfer to hotel. Visit the capital city of Laos, Vientiane still feels like a sleepy city with relaxed charm, tree-lined boulevards, and interesting temples and colourful markets. Visit the different highlights of the city, including PHA THAT LUANG, a gleaming golden stupa, HO PHA KEO, the formal royal temple, now a museum with beautiful examples of Buddhist sculpture; WAT SI SAKET; and PATUXAI, a monumental arch inspired by the Arc de Triomphe. Overnight in Vientiane.
