    DaDa cafe

    Grab a coffee or light snack at DaDa cafe. It is open late, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it before heading out.

  2. 17:28

    Lao National Museum

    Walk from the park area to the Lao National Museum. The building’s impressive architecture looks striking as the light begins to soften.

    Lao National Museum

    Find a spot near the museum grounds to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the museum’s facade just before the sun dips below the horizon.

Local tip

DaDa cafe is open Mo-Sa 07:00-19:00 and Su 07:00-18:00, so it will be open during this evening plan. The museum itself has no listed hours, so check the route for any entry restrictions if you plan to go inside later.

Check before you go

  • DaDa cafe closes at 19:00 on weekdays and 18:00 on Sundays, but you are arriving well before that.
