The capital city of Laos, Vientiane, still feels like a sleepy city with relaxed charm, tree-lined boulevards, beautiful temples and colourful markets. Tour the many highlights of the city, including Pha That Luang, a gleaming golden stupa which is perhaps the most important national monument in Laos; Ho Pha Keo, the formal royal temple, now a museum with beautiful examples of Buddhist sculpture; Wat Si Saket, Patuxai, a monumental arch inspired by the Arc de Triomphe, but executed with Lao motifs. Visit Lao National Museum, the charming French Colonial Architecture building and Wat Si Muang. End your day at the Talaat Sao, or the "morning market" (actually open all day), the best place to buy traditional Lao fabrics

- Pha That Luang, a gleaming golden stupa which is perhaps the most important national monument in Laos.

- Wat Si Saket, famous for its cloister wall housing thousands of tiny Buddha images and rows with hundreds of seated Buddhas. These images mainly date from the 16th and 19th centuries and come in all sizes and are made from wood, stone and bronze – more than 6,800 Buddhas in total. The temple is quite shady as it is surrounded by tropical fruit trees.

Visit Talaat Sao, the morning market (but actually open all day), where vendors sell a wide range of fabrics, jewellery and electronic goods.

Leave your hotel in early morning to see Tak Bat, or the Buddhist monks' morning collection of food. It's one of the most vivid images of Laos - from 5:30 am in the morning onward, silent lines of saffron-clad monks walk down the streets of Luang Prabang to collect alms. The locals are there ahead of them, ready with bowls full of the Lao staple sticky rice; every monk gets a scoopful in their bowl.

Visit the Morning Market, lining a couple of quiet streets near the Royal Palace, starts early and is over by mid-morning. Most of the vendors, selling anything from rice, to fresh vegetables, to steamed fish, frogs, and anything else that might be the day's catch, just set up on the ground. It's an elegant solution–cheap, simple, and effective.
