Start to visit Wat Phnom Daun Penh, a Buddhist temple pagoda that symbolizes the name of Phnom Penh. Standing 27 meters high, Wat Phnom is the most significant temple in Phnom Penh
Visit the Royal Palace of Cambodia, a complex of buildings that serves as the royal residence of the King of Cambodia. The Throne Hall and Silver Pagoda are must-see parts of its complex, featuring a royal temple officially called Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot, commonly referred to as Wat Preah Keo Morakot or Temple of the Emerald Crystal Buddha. This pagoda houses a collection of priceless Buddha and historical objects, including the “Emerald Buddha” and a floor covered by more than 5,000 silver tiles.
Visit the National Museum, Cambodia’s largest museum of cultural history and the country’s leading historical and archaeological museum. It has the world’s largest collection of Khmer art, sculptures, ceramics, bronzes, and ethnographic objects dating from prehistoric times to periods before, during, and after the Khmer Empire.
Visit Independence Monument, built in 1958 to memorialize Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. The monument, designed by Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, is shaped like a lotus bud adorned with Naga heads, resembling the great Khmer temples at the Angkor historical sites. Behind it stands a statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdach Preah Norodom Sihanouk, the father king of Cambodia.
Visit Central Market (Psar Thmey), a unique Art Deco building constructed in 1937. Inside, find a vast array of goods sold at bargain prices, from fresh produce to jewelry and souvenirs. As an alternative, explore Tuol Tum Poung Market, also known as the Russian Market due to its popularity with Russian expats in the 1980s. This bustling market is ideal for tourists seeking local handicrafts, clothing, antiques, and art.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant
Visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a museum chronicling the Cambodian genocide. The site was a former secondary school used as Security Prison 21 (S21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 until 1979. Inmates were systematically tortured to extract confessions and later executed at the killing fields of Choeung Ek.
Visit the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, 15km from Phnom Penh city. Once an orchard and a Chinese graveyard, it was used by the Khmer Rouge as an execution ground. Today, it is a memorial marked by a Buddhist stupa, filled with over 5,000 human skulls, many shattered. The site commemorates the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime.
