Laos travel guide

Laos - Vientiane & Around (Chapter)

This is the Vientiane & Around chapter from Lonely Planet's Laos guidebook.

You won’t see words like ‘hustle’ and ‘bustle’ being used to describe the capital of Laos. Arguably the most relaxed capital city on earth, its combination of tree-lined boulevards and dozens of temples impart an atmosphere of timelessness, while the kaleidoscopic architectural styles reflect its historic influences.
