Phnom Penh

Capital and largest city of Cambodia, known for its historic Royal Palace, bustling markets, and as a gateway to the Khmer Empire's ruins.

Tips from the community

The bus trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh crosses the heart of Cambodia. Rice farms, water buffalo, the glimmering surface of huge Tonle Sap Lake – there’s no end to the sights you’ll see. Then it’s onto the capital. Darker tales await there, what with the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in S-21, an erstwhile school turned torture camp under the Khmer Rouge. You should also visit the monuments at the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, where mass graves and sobering memorials spread around a Buddhist stupa.
