- Great Sacred Stupa (Pha That Luang) - The That Luang Stupa is the most significant monument in Laos, originally constructed to enclose a small stupa containing a piece of Buddha’s chest bone. That Luang serves as the principal and symbolic stupa in Laos, recognized globally as a national symbol and a gathering place for national Buddhist ceremonies. It is also the largest stupa in Laos. The Patouxay (Arch de Triumph), built more recently to commemorate those who died in past wars, is now a landmark of Vientiane.
- Wat Ho Phra Keo - Once the temple of the royal family, it housed the Emerald Buddha for 200 years and now functions as a museum.
- Buddha Park - Located on the Mekong, Buddha Park features Buddha statues in modern styles, including the largest Reclining Buddha in Laos. These were created by a Lao man to educate future generations about world religions after his studies in India. A larger park was established in Nong Khai, Thailand, where his body is preserved. The return to Vientiane is in the late afternoon.
