	Vientiane With a population of just over half a million, Vientiane is the centre of Laos culture, commerce and administration and is located on the banks of the Mekong River. Vientiane is relatively small so moving around can be done very easily. The central boulevard is reminiscent of the Champ Elysees, another telling sign of the city's French heritage.

That Luang
A symbol of Laos’s nationhood and the country's most sacred Buddhist monument.
Wat Sisaket
The only temple in Vientiane to survive the sacking of the city by the Siamese in 1828, Wat Sisaket is the oldest and considered by many to be the most interesting of the Laotian temples.
