COPE Visitor Centre – A Budget-Friendly

#freemuseumdays 📍 Location: Khouvieng Road, Vientiane, Laos 🕘 Entry Fee: Free (donations welcome) ⏱ Visit Time: 1–2 hours If you’re traveling in Laos on a budget, the COPE Visitor Centre is one of the most meaningful and affordable stops in Vientiane. It tells the story of Laos’ past as the most heavily bombed country (per capita) and shows how the local community is helping people affected by unexploded bombs (UXO) and injuries. ⸻ 🧭 Things to Do at COPE: • 🎥 Watch short documentaries about survivors and the UXO crisis • 🦿 View prosthetics and medical equipment used to support recovery • 🌍 Explore interactive exhibits about Laos’ war history and bomb clearance efforts • 🧃 Relax at the café with budget-friendly drinks and snacks • 🛍 Shop at the small gift shop—all proceeds support COPE’s work. This is not just a museum—it’s a chance to learn, reflect, and support a good cause. And best of all, it fits perfectly into any low-cost travel plan. Tip: It’s close to the city center and easy to reach by tuk-tuk, bicycle, or on foot.
