Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda

The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda are set adjacent to each other, spanning 174,870 square metres of lush greenery and breathtaking Khmer architecture. Although the king of Cambodia still occasionally resides in The Royal Palace (if the blue royal flag is flying, the king is in residence), visitors can explore several buildings within the palace grounds for US$6.50 and guided tours are available for US$10. Located in Sisowath Quay, must-visits at The Royal Palace include the Throne Hall and Moonlight Pavilion. Meanwhile, entrance to the Silver Pagoda is free of charge, where you can visit the Emerald Buddha, which dates back to the 17th century and made with Baccarat crystals.
