Even as Phnom Penh undergoes urban development, it has retained much of its old world charm as evident in the French colonial architecture and traditional ornate temples. Rich in history, the city offers a number of cultural and historical sites including the National Museum, Royal Palace, and Silver Pagoda.
Siem Reap
A charming provincial town defined by a cluster of villages, Chinese-style shop houses, and French-colonial architecture. Activities to experience include watching a traditional Cambodian “Apsara” dance performance and participating in a Khmer cuisine cooking class. The rural outskirts offer plenty of interesting activities such as visiting craft shops and silk farms, taking a bike ride through the countryside, or participating in a humanitarian assistance program.
