Vientiane’s Secrets Revealed

• Laos is well known for its rich weaving heritage. If you’re looking for a great deal on handcrafted ikat, tapestry, and brocade items, from scarves to cushion covers, try shops like Laos Textiles and take a behind-the-scenes tour for an insight into the different ethnic designs and traditions. The Talat Sao Market is another great choice.
• Don’t miss out on Buddha Park, just a short trip to the south-east of the city. This quirky garden is packed with unique sculptures based on local mythology.

What to Know for Travel to Vientiane

Wattay International Airport (VTE) is only 8 km from the city, so it’s a short transfer. Most travellers either opt to rent a car or use the airport taxis. You can arrange a taxi at the airport counter inside the Arrivals Hall. Bus Line 44 also serves the airport.

Vientiane is most popular with visitors during its dry season, which runs from November to March. The cooler, drier weather is ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities during this time.
