Luang Prabang is well known for having a unique and beautiful townscape that consists of a blending of two distinct cultures; best seen through the fusion of the architectural styles between Lao urban structures and those built by European colonialists in the recent past. The natural beauty of the town is enhanced by the surrounding mountain ranges. Listed below are some of the recommended experiences, attractions, and activities that visitors could enjoy after cruising to Luang Prabang, Laos:
