Best Luxury Hotels in Phnom Penh
Cambodia’s capital was shaped by both the Khmer Empire and the French colonial era. It was founded in 1372 and has a complex history, resulting in many fascinating points of interest. First-time visitors should add the Silver Pagoda, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the National Museum of Cambodia (the world’s finest collection of Khmer sculpture and design), the huge art deco Central Market and the Royal Palace to their itinerary. Many visit the city as a stop-off, en-route to see Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, or while exploring Southeast Asia.
