Overnight in Phnom Penh

Explore PHNOM PENH, a chaotic, energetic and always fascinating city. Graceful tree-lined boulevards and riverfront promenades are reminders of bygone eras. Start the tour into Cambodia’s cultural heritage with a visit to the ROYAL PALACE and the adjacent SILVER PAGODA, also known as the Pagoda of the Emerald Buddha. Continue to the elegant NATIONAL MUSEUM, which contains a comprehensive collection of Khmer Art. Finally stroll over one of Phnom Penh’s two great markets. The CENTRAL MARKET or the sprawling RUSSIAN MARKET, a labyrinth of stalls selling everything from CDs and DVDs to silks, crafts, jewellery and more. Continue discovering the Killing Fields. Just outside Phnom Penh, in a peaceful rural setting, the KILLING FIELDS provide a stark reminder of the atrocities under the Pol Pot regime. Proceed on and learn about a chapter from Cambodia’s more recent and tragic past at the TUOL SLENG MUSEUM (Museum of Genocide). Formerly the Tuol Svay Prey High School, in 1975 this became the interrogation and torture facility for the Khmer Rouge regime - at that time known as Security Prison 21, or simply S-21.
