    The full-day tour of Vientan was very interesting. Thom, our guide, immersed us in the culture not only of Laos, but more specifically of Buddhism. Thanks to her, we were able to participate in the traditions, customs, and rituals of the local people. It was very interesting.

Vientiane Tours & Activities | Discover Laos' Laid-back Capital

Vientiane, the charming capital of Laos, sits peacefully along the banks of the Mekong River. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, tree-lined boulevards, and golden temples, this city is a perfect blend of French colonial influence and traditional Lao culture. Whether you're curious about local cuisine, spiritual wonders, or simply want to soak up the laid-back lifestyle, this destination offers an authentic Southeast Asian experience.

A Glimpse into Its Past

Founded centuries ago as a key settlement along the Mekong, Vientiane grew under the Lan Xang Kingdom and later flourished with French colonial touches. Its storied past is still visible today, from ancient stupas to stately colonial buildings lining quiet streets.

When to Go

The best time to visit is between November and February, when the weather is cool and dry. This season makes outdoor exploration comfortable and enjoyable, especially for strolls along the river or temple visits.

Is Vientiane safe for travelers?

Yes, it is considered a very safe destination for tourists. As in any city, just keep an eye on your belongings and enjoy the friendly local hospitality.

Can I use US dollars or do I need local currency?

While some hotels and shops may accept US dollars or Thai baht, using the local kip is recommended for smaller purchases and street markets.
