Vientiane Travel Tips
Vientiane travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Viengtiane is a beautiful city with a European village feel to it. Definately worth a week or more if you like to settle into a place and get a feel for it. • Michael J.
  • Rather disappointing for a capitol city. Couldn't find night life or anything likewise. Some good restaurants with french food. I even had jambes de grenouille (frog legs) and a good Chablis. • Lukas M.
  • "mon petit cochon" avec de la vraie charcuterie française pour les voyageurs au long cours, "yulala" tenu par un couple de japonais pas cher et vraiment hyper bon • Charlotte C.
