Attractions in Phnom Penh

There is so much to see and do in Phnom Penh that most people are surprised as they make a stop in the Cambodian capital heading to or from Siem Reap’s Angkor Wat. But those who don’t make a stop off in Phnom Penh miss out on so many interesting historical, cultural and environmental attractions on offer. It’s not all about the Khmer Rouge or Cambodia’s tragic past either. Islands, Khmer era temples, wildlife sanctuaries, performances and museums are all easily accessible and tours are reasonably priced.
