Phnom Penh, after years of violence and terror is a city reinventing itself. Many parts of the city are testament to its French colonial past while the recently developed riverfront is proof of its future.
Sua s'dei! Welcome to Cambodia!Cambodia's capital city is set on a major junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers and boasts some fine examples of French-inspired architecture. Let's begin your journey today by confronting Cambodia's tragic past on a guided tour of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21), a former school that served as a Khmer Rouge torture center. It's estimated that more than 20,000 people were held and tortured here. You’ll also head out to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, where a stupa made up of some 8000 human skulls marks the execution ground for the torture victims of Tuol Sleng. Afterwards, you may wish to learn about a brighter period in Cambodian history from an optional visit to the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. Wat Phnom, shrouded in myth, is equally worth a visit, as is the National Museum with its excellent Khmer collection. Cyclo tours around the city are a great alternative to walking and generally include the Central Market, US Embassy, Wat Phnom, Mekong riverfront, the Independence Monument and Royal Palace.
