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).
