Unveil the wonders of Cambodia: What you need to see

Cambodia boasts an array of attractions that cater to history buffs, nature lovers, and culture enthusiasts alike. Here are some must-visit locations:

Angkor Archaeological Park

This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the magnificent Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument. Explore the ancient temples, e.g. Ta Prohm, famous for its tree-root-covered ruins, and Bayon, known for its enigmatic stone faces.

Phnom Penh

Cambodia's bustling capital offers a blend of colonial charm and modern energy. Visit the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, explore the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and stroll along the picturesque Riverside area. Don't miss the vibrant Central Market for a taste of local life and shopping.

Tonlé-Sap-See

Experience the unique floating villages on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake. Witness the daily life of communities living on the water and observe the lake's rich biodiversity. The changing water levels between wet and dry seasons create a fascinating ecosystem.

When is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The best time to visit Cambodia is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. This period offers comfortable temperatures and minimal rainfall, ideal for exploring temples and outdoor activities. December to February are the coolest months, perfect for sightseeing. However, if you don't mind occasional showers and want to see lush green landscapes, the shoulder months of November and April can also be great times to visit.

The best activities for a holiday in Cambodia

From awe-inspiring temples to unblemished beaches, Cambodia offers a diverse range of experiences that will captivate your heart and leave you yearning for more. 

Go temple hopping

Beyond Angkor Wat, you can explore other lesser-known temples like Banteay Srei, known for its intricate carvings, or Koh Ker, an off-the-beaten-path archaeological site. For a unique experience, take a hot air balloon ride over the Angkor complex at sunrise.

Immerse yourself in Khmer culture

Take a cooking class to learn about Khmer cuisine, attend a traditional Apsara dance performance, or visit a local village to experience rural Cambodian life. These activities offer insights into the country's rich cultural heritage.

Cambodia’s natural side

Nature lovers can wander through the lush Cardamom Mountains, go trekking in Ratanakiri province, or take a wildlife spotting tour in Mondulkiri. For water enthusiasts, kayaking through the flooded forests of Tonlé Sap Lake is a must-try experience.

Must-visit beaches in Cambodia

While often overlooked, Cambodia's coastline boasts some stunning beaches. Here are a few of the best beach spots to check out during your holiday:

Koh Rong

This island paradise offers pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy snorkelling, diving, or simply relaxing on the beach. Don't miss the magical experience of swimming with bioluminescent plankton at night.

Otres Beach

Located near Sihanoukville, Otres Beach is a tranquil escape from the more crowded areas. With its laid-back vibe and beautiful sunsets, it's perfect for those seeking a peaceful beach getaway.

Kep Beach
