Cultural Gems of Cambodia

8 days from £5,545 for 2023 per person

• Phnom Penh
• Siem Reap

This is a great mini trip to Cambodia, whether you are returning to this charming land or visiting for the first time.

Begin with a stay in the buzzing capital of Phnom Penh, and take time to visit the sparkling Royal Palace, the Russian Market and shocking relics of the Khmer Rouge era. Here you will stay in the beautifully contemporary Rosewood Phnom Penh, the sexiest new hotel in town with unbeatable views across the city.

From Phnom Penh you will travel North to Siem Reap to see one of Cambodia’s most celebrated highlight, the Angkor temple complex. Spend days immersing yourself in the ancient history of this fascinating region, exploring the famous 'lost city' of the Khmers, the most astounding archaeological site in Asia. Discover temples where colossal stone faces stare impassively across stone-built temples devoted to long-forgotten empires, now trailed by jungle creepers and pierced by the strangling roots of vast forest trees.

This is purely a suggested itinerary, it can be booked as it is or used as a starting point for creating your own luxury tailor-made tour of Cambodia. If you'd like to see similar trips, take a look at our favourite Family Holidays and Active Holidays.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
