Cities and temple landscapes
Find your base in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Cambodia’s central provinces, from working cities to archaeological landscapes.
Phnom Penh: where to stay and how to enjoy Cambodia’s capital
Phnom Penh rewards a stay that balances museums and river walks with the ordinary pleasures of a working capital: breakfast, neighbourhood cafés, markets and a comfortable place to retreat from the heat.
Siem Reap: Angkor, living culture and a stay worth extending
Siem Reap is Cambodia’s inland gateway to Angkor, with enough food, craft, performance and neighbourhood life to justify more than a rushed temple stop. Its accommodation choice is unusually broad.
Kampong Cham: riverside stays, Koh Pen and living temples
Kampong Cham makes a rewarding Mekong stop for travellers who want a provincial city with a riverfront, temple visits and an easy transition into the surrounding countryside. Choose carefully between a town hotel and a rural retreat.
Kampong Thom: where to stay for Sambor Prei Kuk and provincial life
Kampong Thom is a useful overnight stop between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but its strongest reason to stay is the chance to visit Sambor Prei Kuk without squeezing the site into a long transfer day.
Kampong Chhnang: pottery, makers and a slower stop
Discover Kampong Chhnang through its pottery tradition. Arrange a respectful maker visit and a useful stop on a Phnom Penh–Battambang journey.
