A Day Out in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is fairly compact city and you can see most of the major places of interest in day on foot. We suggest that you start your day out in Phnom Penh at the Royal Palace, which is the major tourist attraction in the city. The Royal Palace opens at 08:00 and closes for lunch at 11:00. Depending on how interested you are in historical sites you should allow between 1 and 3 hours to walk around this large royal complex, so starting early in the morning is advisable. From the Royal Palace it is a short walk to Sisowath Quay. Sisowath Quay is a 3.7 km long promenade that follows the Tonle Sap River and one of the few places in Phnom Penh that you walk without constantly needing to dodge motorbikes and negotiate the obstacles that obstruct pedestrians on all the city’s other supposed pedestrian walkways. The views along the river are superb and there lots of restaurants and cafes on route.

If you follow Sisowath Quay northward then turn west after about 800 metres you come to Central Market. Central Market is housed within a fantastic art-deco style building with a high domed roof that was built in the 1930s during the time when Cambodia was part of French administered Indo-China. Central Market is now very much a tourist market but nonetheless well worth going inside to marvel at the clever architecture and interior decor. From Central Market the last major site to visit in Phnom Penh is Wat Phnom. From Central Market it is a 1 km walk all the way up to the main shrine at Wat Phnom. Wat Phnom was established in the 14th Century, according to legend, by the city’s founder, Grandmother Penh. The temple features a man made hill which was built to keep the main temple shrine shrine safe from the constant flooding which the area experienced at the time. Wat Phnom is an interesting and eclectic temple complex which has been added to and renovated over the course of the centuries since it was established which you need about an hour to explore properly.
