Hotels near Luang Prabang International Airport - LPQ, Luang Prabang

It's a whole chilled-out place. temples, lots of good restaurants, cafes, and spas; and the area is good for sight-seeing. We cruised on the Mekong, visited a cave with hundreds or thousands of buddhas, fed an elephant, visited the falls, etc. and the area is good for trekking and cycling.

Arrived in Luang Prabang after weeks traveling around South East Asia. Considered traveling around Laos but decided to wind down, relax, and enjoy the one location. Couldn't have picked a better spot. It is calm, unhurried, relaxed, people exceptionally nice, food excellent. We had no hassle, market traders didn't 'push' nor did tour operators, very pleasant. Main street shopping enjoyable, with lots of good restaurants and bars. We arranged a private boat trip to the Buddha cave, going in the afternoon when there were very few people. timing it so we arrived back in Luang Prabang to catch sunset on Mekong while onboard. Boat trip up Mekong a pure pleasure. Luang Prabang is very walk able, not very big, but we found it absolutely lovely to visit and would happily add on to next itinerary especially when looking for a quiet place.

A wonderful place with a lovely atmosphere set in beautiful surroundings. There are numerous high quality restaurants and cafes which won't break the bank. Make sure you climb Phousi Mountain for the sunrise, rather than wait for sunset, as it is far quieter. Other places to visit apart from the main Wats (which are lovely) and the Palace, is the craft Centre, OK Pop Tok, where you can watch weaving and silk making and the small but interesting Museum of Ethnology. Be prepared for large, noisy coach groups at the Palace.

A fairy tale town in a lovely country. One of the world's best (and I've seen more than my share), Such lovely people. The power of a smile!!! You'll quickly recognise the better eateries, of which there are plenty for all tastes. Bouang was one. If you want photographs - and you will - just be patient: crowds clear, clouds clear, and you will get your lifetime best photos!

It’s very relaxing and easy to get around which are both a plus and minus. It’s great if you don’t want to do much as you will probably max out your activities over 2 days. Which was perfect for our 4 day trip

It was a nice trip to Luang Prabang. The place I stayed right on the Mekong River and the markets so the location was perfect. However, the hotel was kind of run down so we were a little bit sad. The people were friendly and helpful even their English is limited or non-existent. The tours was reasonable and interesting, especially the Kuangsi Waterfalls and Pakou Caves. The street food was awesome and cheap. Above all, LP definitely a must see city in Laos.
