Explore the historical and cultural beauty of Vientiane

Your Vientiane trip will be filled with beautiful and impressive religious sites. Start with a visit to the Ho Phrakeo Monumental Museum and Wat Sisaket, ancient architecture that vividly reflects Lao art. Inside Ho Phrakeo and Wat Sisaket, numerous ancient Buddha statues line the walls and main buildings, demonstrating the glory of Buddhism in the past.
You'll also visit Wat Si Muang, a temple of great spiritual significance to the Lao people. It houses the Vientiane City Pillar. Laotians believe that paying homage and praying here will grant wishes. The temple grounds offer a peaceful atmosphere, filled with Buddhist statues, a testament to the people's fervent devotion.
End your grand tour with a visit to the Lao Art Museum, home to a collection of priceless artworks. The interior, particularly striking, features intricately carved pillars and dazzling golden ceilings, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of Lao artisans.
Of course, a visit to Patuxay (Victory Monument), a city landmark nestled amidst a lush park, is a must-see. The Arc de Triomphe's architecture is influenced by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but incorporates Laotian artistic motifs. You can also purchase Arc de Triomphe-shaped ice cream, a cute and delicious souvenir.
