Vientiane → Vientiane City Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Vientiane Airport (VTE) to Vientiane City Centre costs €25 per car for 1–3 passengers and €35 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 7 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals area outside the exit of your terminal (international or domestic), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Wattay International Airport is on the western edge of Vientiane, about 3 km from the city centre. By road the trip to the Nam Phou fountain is about 7 km: the route follows Souphanouvong Avenue and Luang Prabang Road east past Sikhottabong into Chanthabouly district. Outside the morning and evening rush hours the drive usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Nam Phou is a fountain square in the heart of Chanthabouly district, a few blocks from the Mekong riverside. Guesthouses, hotels, cafes and restaurants fill the surrounding streets, the evening night market sets up in Chao Anouvong Park on the river, and Wat Si Saket, the Presidential Palace and the Patuxai monument on Lane Xang Avenue are a short drive away. Pha That Luang, the national symbol of Laos, stands about 3 km to the north-east.

Public transport instead: Vientiane State Bus Enterprise (airport shuttle bus) Airport shuttle: Wattay International Airport - Central Bus Station (Talat Sao) from Wattay International Airport (stop outside the international terminal) to Central Bus Station at Talat Sao (Khua Din), city centre, Daily during the day and evening; launched in 2018 with 16 stops along the route.
