Phnom Penh

An exotic gem on the banks of the beautiful Mekong River, Phnom Penh is reminiscent of an older Asia—and a source of constant nostalgia for travelers. A city that has witnessed extreme ups and downs, Phnom Penh never fails to charm, excite and captivate. The awe-inspiring temples, sweeping French boulevards, luscious lakes and the chaotic cacophony on the streets are what define this magnifying city. With a new wave of investors and capital pouring in, Phnom Penh may just be ready for a striking revival that once made it a thriving travel and cultural hub of Southeast Asia.
