Phnom Penh City Guide
Cambodia > Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Capital, is a vibrant, bustling city
nestled majestically on the banks of the Mekong, the Tonle
Sap and the Bassac. Despite the dilapidation resulting of
the recent decades of war, the city retains its traditional
and colonial charm. French colonial villas along tree-lined
boulevards remind the visitor that the city was once considered
the gem of South East Asia.
Starting with a tour of the Silver Pagoda, the National
Museum, Independence Monument, Wat Phnom and the market
areas where hand woven silks, silver, gems and antiques
will compete for your attention.
