- Cambodia Post Office - The Phnom Penh Central Post Office is among the city’s oldest and most graceful colonial structures, situated just a short stroll from Wat Phnom. Besides serving as Cambodia’s primary postal center, it also stands as a testament to the nation’s French colonial heritage.
Constructed in 1895, the post office boasts a distinctive yellow exterior, high arched windows, and a symmetrical design characteristic of neo-classical European architecture. The spacious square in front of the building enhances its appeal, offering visitors a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling streets nearby.
- Old Market - Old Market (Phsar Chas) is one of the oldest traditional markets in Phnom Penh, located right by the riverside near the vibrant Sisowath Quay. It provides a more local, authentic experience compared to the more organized Central Market.
Dating back to the French colonial era, this market has long been a center for daily trade, serving both residents and small businesses in the area.
- Wat Phnom - Wat Phnom is the most renowned temple in Phnom Penh and the landmark that gives the city its name. It is situated on a small natural hill about 27 meters high, making it one of the only elevated sacred sites in the city.
This serene pagoda is both a religious site and a historic symbol, attracting pilgrims, tourists, and locals who come to pray for good fortune, success, and protection.
- Sisowath Quay - Sisowath Quay is Phnom Penh’s famous riverside promenade, extending along the banks where the Mekong River meets the Tonlé Sap River. It is one of the most popular areas in the city for walking, dining, relaxing, and enjoying sunsets.
Lined with colonial buildings, hotels, cafés, restaurants, and street vendors, it offers a perfect blend of local life and a tourist-friendly atmosphere.
- Wat Ounalom - Wat Ounalom is one of the most significant Buddhist monasteries in Phnom Penh and is considered the center of Cambodian Buddhism. Located just a short walk from the riverside, it is quieter and more spiritual compared to more tourist-heavy temples like Wat Phnom.
It serves as the headquarters of the Maha Nikaya Buddhist order in Cambodia and remains an active monastery with monks living and studying there.
- Royal Palace - The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh is one of Cambodia’s most important landmarks and the official residence of the King of Cambodia. Built in 1866, it remains a functioning royal complex while also being one of the country’s top tourist attractions.
Located along the riverside, the palace showcases stunning traditional Khmer architecture with strong French influence, golden rooftops, and beautifully maintained gardens.
- Silver Pagoda - The Silver Pagoda, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is one of Cambodia’s most sacred and visually impressive religious sites. It is located inside the grounds of the Royal Palace and serves as a royal Buddhist temple.
Unlike many temples in Cambodia, the Silver Pagoda is renowned for its luxurious materials, priceless Buddha statues, and royal heritage.
- Independence Monument - The Independence Monument is one of Phnom Penh’s most iconic landmarks, located at the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard. It was built in 1958 to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953.
Designed in a traditional Khmer architectural style, the monument resembles a lotus-shaped stupa and is one of the most photographed structures in the city.
- Choeung Ek Genocidal Center - Choeung Ek, commonly known as The Killing Fields, is a memorial site located about 15 km south of Phnom Penh. It is one of the most significant historical places in Cambodia, dedicated to remembering the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979).
Today, it serves as a peaceful memorial park and place of reflection, honoring those who lost their lives during this tragic period.
- Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, also known as S-21, is one of the most significant historical sites in Phnom Penh. It was formerly a high school that was converted into a prison and interrogation center during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979).
Today, it is preserved as a museum to document and remember the history of that period and honor the victims.
