A golden stupa that has become the unofficial symbol of the whole country, French colonial villas gone gently to seed along quiet streets, and a riverside night market that is the entire town's evening plan.

The best time to visit Vientiane is Nov–Feb, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (83°F).
