Enjoy breakfast at the hotel
Start to visit Wat Phnom Daun Penh, a Buddhist temple pagoda that symbolizes the name of Phnom Penh. Standing 27 meters high on a man-made hill, Wat Phnom is the most significant temple in Phnom Penh.
Visit The Royal Palace of Cambodia, a complex of buildings serving as the royal residence of the King of Cambodia. The Throne Hall and Silver Pagoda are the must-see highlights. The royal temple is officially called Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot, but is commonly referred to as Wat Preah Keo Morakot or the Temple of the Emerald Crystal Buddha. This pagoda houses a collection of priceless Buddha and historical objects, including the “Emerald Buddha,” and its floor is 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 the Independence Monument, built in 1958 to memorialize Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. Designed by renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, it is shaped like a lotus bud adorned with Naga heads to resemble the great Khmer temples at the Angkor historical sites. Behind the Independence Monument stands a statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdach Preah Norodom Sihanouk, the Father King of Cambodia.
Visit Central Market, locally known as Psar Thmey, a unique building built in 1937. The vast interior offers an extensive range of goods at bargain prices. Alternatively, visit Tuol Tum Poung Market, often referred to as the Russian Market because of its popularity among Russian expats during the 1980s. This market is a favorite among tourists for souvenirs, including handicrafts, clothing, antiques, and art.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant
Visit the 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.
The last visit is the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, about 15km from Phnom Penh. Once an orchard and Chinese graveyard, it was used by the Khmer Rouge regime as an execution ground where thousands were killed and buried in mass graves between 1975 and 1979. Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial marked by a Buddhist stupa filled with more than 5,000 human skulls, many shattered or crushed. Victims were often executed using primitive methods, and children were brutally killed by being smashed against trees.

Enjoy the nightlife at Walk Street, a food paradise where you can taste a variety of Khmer dishes and eat like a local, while also enjoying cultural activities and traditional Khmer performances.
