Places of Interest in Cambodia
Cambodia is a country of great contrasts. It is home to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring spectacles: the enormous Khmer temple complex on the outskirts of bustling Siem Reap, of which Angkor Wat is the centrepiece. In museums and at monuments, Cambodia’s own thought-provoking and sombre history resonates. The tropical coastal resorts of Cambodia offer a laid-back alternative to the chaotic pace of the colourful capital, Phnom Penh, which is a fascinating city full of French colonial buildings and leafy streets, wonderful markets and a pace of life that will excite any visitor. Much of Cambodia’s landscape is rural, with palm-fringed rice paddies stretching far into the distance, and villages of traditional stilted wooden houses abound. Cambodia’s interior is also home to lush jungles and rare wildlife, as well as stunning mountainous regions that receive few foreign visitors.
