Begin your day with hotel pickup and head to the heart of the city to explore the Royal Palace, a stunning example of Khmer architecture and the official residence of the King of Cambodia. Just next door, visit the Silver Pagoda, famous for its gleaming silver floor tiles and sacred treasures. Continue to the National Museum of Cambodia, home to an impressive collection of Khmer art and artifacts from the Angkor era to modern times.
In the afternoon, travel to the Choeung Ek Killing Fields, a deeply moving memorial site that honors the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime. Then visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), a former high school turned prison that tells the story of Cambodia’s darkest chapter. During or after the tour, enjoy a local lunch at a nearby restaurant before returning to your hotel, enriched by a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s past and present.
