Cambodia

The sensational ruins of Angkor may be the main attraction, but Cambodia’s exquisite temples, secluded beaches, charming villages and magical markets deserve lots of attention too. With genuine locals always ready to share a sincere smile, Cambodia will steal your heart and enrich your spirit.

Top 10 Must-Visit Places of Cambodia

1. Phnom Penh
Cambodia’s capital may be chaotic but there are moments of peace to be found. Relax in a riverfront bar, find serenity in a local temple or soak up the grand atmosphere of the Royal Palace.
2. Battambang
Beautiful Battambang is home to wonderful examples of French-Colonial architecture, ornate temples, peaceful pagodas and scenic villages. Choose to day trip here or stay longer to be immersed in this place of authenticity.
3. Sihanoukville
With brilliant beaches and a balmy, tropical climate, the port city of Sihanoukville offers a great beach break for weary travellers. Bask in golden sunshine, swim in azure waters, visit a nearby island or laze the day away swinging in a hammock.
4. Siem Reap
With vibrant markets, cool bars, excellent restaurants and superb street food - fun times, culinary adventures and a healthy dose of retail therapy are guaranteed in sensational Siem Reap.
5. Kompong Cham
Full of old-world charm and quiet beauty, Kompong Cham is a great place to switch gears and go slow. Wander the streets to admire decaying colonial buildings, visit a Wat for a quiet moment of reflection or sit on the riverbanks and watch fishermen glide by.
6. Angkor
The sprawling ruins of ever-impressive Angkor are not to be underestimated. From the smiling faces of the Bayon and the twisted trees of Ta Prohm, to the magnetic aura of mighty Angkor Wat, this archaeological site is both intriguing and inspiring.
7. Kampot
Riverside Kampot is a blissful place to unwind. Acting as gateway to nearby mountains, waterfalls, caves, ruins and national parks, this little haven of tranquillity has a great range of quaint guesthouses and cute cafes to keep travellers comfortable.
8. Kratie
Home to rare river-dwelling dolphins, amber sunsets and a gorgeous riverfront, Kratie may be small in size but is still a great spot to stop and get away from it all for a few days.
9. Mondulkiri
A world away from the rest of Cambodia, the mountainous Mondulkiri Province has its own unique culture. Minority groups live in traditional villages here, alongside lush landscapes and a temperate climate. It may be difficult to get to remote Mondulkiri but it’s well worth the journey.
10. Ream National Park
Home to a wide array of birds including eagles, kingfishers, storks and egrets, as well as many species of striking butterflies, a visit to Ream National Park is a great way to get in touch with Cambodia’s natural world.
