Vientiane in One Day: The Perfect Itinerary
Compared to Luang Prabang’s "mini Chiang Mai" vibe, Vientiane is ideal for a one-day city walk. Here’s how to cover the highlights efficiently: ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Pha That Luang (Golden Stupa) 4,000 LAK entry (worth it!). Photo ops: Golden stupa, arched corridors, and the "frame shot" through a temple window. 2️⃣ Reclining Buddha Temple Free entry, next to Pha That Luang. The massive reclining Buddha is awe-inspiring. 3️⃣ Patuxai (Victory Gate) Climb for city views. Best at sunset—night fountain shows add magic! 4️⃣ That Dam (Black Stupa) Hidden in an alley. Dress modestly (no shorts/sleeveless). Nearby café offers a perfect photo spot (~¥10 coffee). 🚗 Getting Around Tuk-tuks save time—attractions are spread out. #Vientiane #LaosTravel #OneDayItinerary
