Visit Patuxay, the Laotian equivalent of the Arc de Triomphe. This war monument was built between 1957 and 1968 to commemorate those who fought for independence from France.
Visit Wat Si Saket, the oldest temple in Vientiane, which survived the Siamese occupation of 1828. It is home to over 10,000 Buddha statues of varying sizes and styles.
The iconic Pha That Luang, a gold-covered Buddhist stupa, is one of the most important religious monuments in Laos, dating back to the 3rd century.

About Vientiane
Vientiane, capital of Laos, is a slow river city on the Mekong, with a golden stupa, French-era boulevards and a riverside promenade.
Vientiane stands on the east bank of the Mekong, facing Thailand across the river. It is a low-rise and unhurried capital, laid out under French rule with boulevards, bakeries and colonial villas among its temples. Pha That Luang, a golden stupa rising from a walled courtyard, is the national symbol, and Patuxai, a victory monument modelled on the Arc de Triomphe, stands at the end of the main avenue.
Top-ranked sights in Vientiane: Patuxai (Victory Gate), Pha That Luang, Wat Sisaket (Wat Si Saket).
