👍👍 A stunning place from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. Staff couldn’t be friendlier and had wonderful chats with the co-owners who clearly have a passion and zest for the place. We arrived for breakfast and came back for dinner - stunning setup.

The Art House Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Nice place. Was packed on the weekend. I tried the spring rolls (better than average) and coffee. Service is also good. Owner/manager made an extra effort to ensure we were happy customers. Enjoy the art displayed on the walls, too, which is available for purchase.

Home Vientiane
Restaurant
👍 All menus are priced in dollars. (As of the end of june, 2022, edited by owner’s request) Food is great. The atmosphere is good and the staff are friendly. The space outside is beautiful, but it was too hot,, so, We had a dinner inside. Anyways, it is enough to recommend.

Vientiane Museum of Contemporary Arts
Museum
👍👍 Brilliant visit and worth the price. The “museum” is a massive collection of wood carvings of many different subjects on lots of different types of timber. There are also some large scale paintings on slabs of timber. The “contemporary” part is that these are mostly recently completed pieces. If...

MAG UXO Visitor Information Centre, Vientiane
Museum
👍 We enjoyed our visit to the centre visitor very much, as it highlights the work of the charity very well. It is slightly sparse and you can easily see everything to see here within 1 hour. It feels more designed for a school visit and education - not necessarily a bad thing.
Having visited here, we...

Fountain
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Go in the evenings and wait for a fountain sound and light show to begin. It's free and it's also beautiful!
Watch out if standing too close to the edge of the fountains - sometimes the fountains cover people in water! The good thing about that is it made people blocking the view move away!
