Today (June 1, 2020): Top 10 best things to see & do in Cambodia.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Cambodia was once the home of the powerful Khmer kingdom, and to this day, the country dazzles with its timeless architectural treasures, rich cultural offerings, and breathtaking natural landscape. Of course, the main reason for traveling to Cambodia is Southeast Asia\u2019s most magnificent archaeological treasure, Angkor Wat. But Cambodia is an undiscovered gem of a country, and there\u2019s much more to it than just the Angkor temples.\u00a0A blend of rice paddies, remote jungles, and white sand beaches, as well as a fascinating history combined with delightful culture and welcoming people make Cambodia a must-visit travel destination. Here\u2019s my list of the best things to see & do in Cambodia.<\/p>\n

10. EXPLORE THE CAPITAL PHNOM PENH<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Visitors are often surprised when making a stop in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh heading to or from Siem Reap\u2019s Angkor Wat or Sihanoukville’s tropical beaches. The city is divided into three sections – the north, an attractive residential area; the south or the French part of the city with its ministries, banks and colonial houses; and the centre or the heart with its narrow lanes, markets, foods stalls and shops.. Khmer-era temples, wildlife sanctuaries, and interesting museums are all easily accessible and tours are reasonably priced. The capital’s highlight is the Royal Palace, which was built in 1866 to serve as the residence of the King of Cambodia and his family. It also hosted foreign dignitaries and served as a venue for the performance of court ceremonies and rituals.<\/p>\n
