Things to do in Cambodia – Cambodia Travel Guide
In this video, I’d like to give you some ideas for what I consider the best things to do in Cambodia. Starting in the capital of Phnom Penh, then overland to Battambang, then by land to Siem Reap (home of Angkor Wat), and finally flying back down to Phnom Penh and by land to Kep & Kampot.

Phnom Penh
Capital of Cambodia
Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s busy capital, sits at the junction of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers. It was a hub for both the Khmer Empire and French colonialists. On its walkable riverfront, lined with parks, restaurants, and bars, are the ornate Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and the National Museum, displaying artifacts from around the country. At the city’s heart is the massive, art deco Central Market.
Krong Battambang
City in Cambodia
Battambang is a city on the Sangkae River in northwestern Cambodia. It’s known for colonial buildings such as Sala Khaet, the former Governor’s Residence. Battambang Provincial Museum has artifacts from local Khmer temples. Nearby, Phare Ponleu Selpak is a circus and performing arts school for underprivileged children. North of the center is the ruins of Ek Phnom, an 11th-century pagoda with sandstone carvings.
Krong Siem Reap
City in Cambodia
Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries. Angkor’s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple pictured on Cambodia’s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.
Krong Kampot
City in Cambodia
Kampot is a city on the Preaek Tuek Chhu River in southern Cambodia. It’s known for its pepper plantations and salt fields. Many buildings date from the colonial period, including the Governor’s Mansion. The house is now the Kampot Museum, which has exhibits on the city’s history. To the west, Preah Monivong Bokor National Park has a cool climate with forests, waterfalls, and wildlife including gibbons and big cats.
