What are the must-see places to visit?
Cambodia is first and foremost famous for the Angkor temples, located near Siem Reap. Angkor Wat, Bayon (with its smiling faces) and Ta Prohm (overrun by the jungle) are must-sees. In Phnom Penh, the capital, visit the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum to understand the country’s recent history. For relaxation, the beaches of Sihanoukville or the islands of Koh Rong offer crystal-clear waters.
What are the most beautiful cities and regions to visit?
- Siem Reap: The gateway to the Angkor temples, with a lively atmosphere in the evening.
- Phnom Penh: The capital, a mix of history, culture, and modernity.
- Kampot / Kep: For their colonial charm, pepper plantations, and the tranquility of the countryside.
- The southern islands (Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem): For white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and diving.
- Battambang: For its colonial architecture, its art, and its authentic atmosphere.
What is the climate like in Cambodia?
The climate is tropical, hot and humid year-round. There are two main seasons: the dry season (November to May), ideal for travel with pleasant temperatures and little rain, and the rainy season (June to October), characterized by intense but often short downpours, giving way to sunshine and lush vegetation.
What to eat? Local cuisine
Cambodian, or Khmer, cuisine is less spicy than its neighbors’ and focuses on freshness and balanced flavors. Try Amok (fish or chicken curry steamed in a banana leaf), Lok Lak (stir-fried beef), Kuy Teav (noodle soup), and the many rice- and seafood-based dishes. Kampot pepper is a local specialty.
