Phnom Penh holidays

Situated on the banks of the Mekong River, Phnom Penh is an atmospheric and enthralling city that’s got a huge amount to offer. Famed for its bustling food markets, pagodas, and lively nightlife, music and arts scenes, it remains one of Southeast Asia’s undiscovered treasures. Visitors can spend their Phnom Penh holidays exploring its complex history, head down the Mekong River for a glimpse of the luscious Cambodian countryside, or wander through its bustling city streets searching for delicious, curbside food stalls.

  • Take an evening walk along the river promenade – a hive of activity and one of the main meeting points for much of the city’s population. Then take a trip to the local café and watch the riverboats returning to the city at the end of the day.
  • Explore the city’s French colonial history and come to understand why Phnom Penh was once known as the ‘Pearl of Asia.’ Many instances of original French architecture remain, creating an interesting contrast with the newer buildings around them.
  • Visit the gold-topped Royal Palace and marvel at the site’s beautiful pagodas. Home to the Cambodian Royal Family and one of the country’s biggest attractions, it’s bright spires can be seen piercing the skyline from neighbourhoods throughout the city.
