The Historic Capital Vientiane 3 Days / 2 Nights Tour

Vientiane (The City Of The Moon) is the capital of Laos and its largest city. It sits in a sweeping bend on the left bank of the Mekong River. Your Laos holiday begins as our guide meets you on your arrival and escorts you to your hotel. After a short check in we take a short sightseeing trip of Vientiane, taking in some of its well-known historic sites. The Religious Museum is in the temple at Wat Sisaket. This predates the Siamese war of 1828. Its famous cloister features 6,840 ceramic and silver statues of the Buddha. Wat Ho Prakeo is the original home of the Emerald Buddha. The Emerald Buddha is no longer here but Wat Ho Prakeo still holds a fascinating collection of Buddhist statues and artifacts. Pha That Luang or The Great Stupa is a symbol of the Laos Nation. It is the most important monument in the entire country. It was built to cover an original small Stupa which holds a section of the breastbone of theBuddha. Patouxy (The Arch of Triumph) was built between 1957 and 1968 and commemorates the dead of historic wars. It has become one of the most famous landmarks of the city of Vientiane. Your Laos trip then returns to your hotel where you can relax.
