Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang in northern Laos is the former Lao capital and a popular tourist destination thanks to the beauty of its natural setting and its majestic temples. A UNESCO World Heritage city, Luang Prabang is situated on the Mekong River and both traditional Laos and European influences can be seen in its architecture. The city is served by Luang Prabang International Airport but visitors often arrive by bus from Vientiane or Vang Vien.

Vientiane
Vientiane – capital city of Lao PDR – is the smallest capital in the world, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm. Situated on the Mekong River in the Mekong Valley, Vientiane has a sub-tropical climate and enjoys life at a relaxed pace.
Thanks to former French occupation, Vientiane has a mixed heritage still evident in its architecture, its street names and in its food. French restaurants can be found up and down Avenue Lane Xang and France's most delicious legacy – the baguette – is ubiquitous.

Laos' isolation from foreign influence offers travellers an unparalleled
glimpse of traditional southeast Asian life. From the fertile lowlands of
the Mekong River valley to the rugged Annamite highlands, Laos is the
highlight of southeast Asia.
This is the least developed
and most enigmatic of the three former French Indochinese states. A ruinous
sequence of colonial domination, internecine conflict and dogmatic socialism
finally brought the country to its knees in the 1970s, and almost 10% of the
population left the country.
Now, after two decades of isolation from the
outside world, this landlocked, sparsely populated country is enjoying
peace, stabilizing its political and economic structures, and admitting
foreign visitors - albeit in limited numbers, owing to a general lack of
infrastructure.
Although travel in Laos is generally hassle-free, travellers should be
aware of the risk of rural banditry, unexploded ordnance and sporadic
violence in and around Vientiane. Travellers have been inadvertently
targeted in several attacks on buses travelling to and from the capital.
Ask around in Vientiane or Luang Prabang to check security before travelling
the western portion of Rte 7 in Xieng Khuang Province, between Muang Phu
Khun and Phonsavan, or Rte 13 between Vangviang north to Muang Phu Khun
through to south of Luang Prabang.
Small bombings and attempted bombings in Vientiane continue sporadically.
The Saisombun Special Zone, considered a 'troubled' area, is definitely not
safe. Permits, required for all visits to the zone, are not being issued.
