Discover Cambodia

What are the must-visit places?

Cambodia is primarily famous for the temples of Angkor, located near Siem Reap. Angkor Wat, Bayon (with its smiling faces) and Ta Prohm (overrun by 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 temples of Angkor, with a lively evening atmosphere.
Phnom Penh: The capital, a blend 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, art, and authentic atmosphere.

What is the climate in Cambodia?

The climate is tropical, hot, and humid all year round. There are two main seasons: the dry season (November to May), ideal for traveling 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? The local gastronomy

Cambodian, or Khmer, cuisine is less spicy than its neighbors and emphasizes freshness and balanced flavors. Try Amok (steamed fish or chicken curry in a banana leaf), Lok Lak (stir-fried beef), Kuy Teav (noodle soup), and the many dishes based on rice and seafood. Kampot pepper is a local specialty.
