What to expect
Royal Palace
2h · Admission ticket not included
Following hotel pickup, begin your tour at the majestic Royal Palace complex, the official residence of the Cambodian monarch. Walk through landscaped tropical gardens to admire the grand Throne Hall, used for royal receptions and coronations. Next, enter the celebrated Silver Pagoda, paved with over 5,000 hand-crafted silver floor tiles and housing precious national treasures, including a life-size golden Buddha encrusted with nearly 10,000 diamonds.
Wat Phnom Daun Penh
1h · Admission ticket not included
Visit Wat Phnom, the sacred hilltop sanctuary that gave Phnom Penh its name. Founded in 1372 by Grandma Penh (Daun Penh) to house sacred Buddha statues recovered from the river, this historic pagoda sits atop a leafy 27-meter mound. Explore the central shrine hall and eastern shrine where locals gather daily to pray, make offerings, and seek blessings.
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
2h · Admission ticket not included
Gain deep historical insight into Cambodia's recent past at Tuol Sleng (S-21). Once a secondary school, this site was converted by the Khmer Rouge regime into a high-security interrogation and detention center. Today, the preserved buildings and photography exhibits serve as a poignant memorial honoring the victims and shedding light on the country's journey toward healing.
Choeung Ek Genocidal Center
1h · Admission ticket not included
Continue to Choeung Ek, located just outside the city center. Once a quiet orchard and cemetery, it served as the final execution ground for prisoners transported from S-21. Pay respect at the central Memorial Stupa housing preserved relics, offering a quiet, reflective space to understand the resilience of the Cambodian spirit.
Independence Monument
1h · Admission ticket included
Conclude your tour with a stop at Phnom Penh's iconic Independence Monument. Built in 1958 to celebrate Cambodia’s independence from French rule, this striking Angkorian-style lotus tower stands as a proud tribute to national heroes. Enjoy the surrounding parkland ambiance before a comfortable drop-off back at your hotel.
