Phnom Penh

A mixture of Cambodian hospitality and Indochinese charm await the visitor to Phnom Penh. Nestled majestically on the banks of a confluence of three great rivers, known as the ‘Chaktomuk’ (four faces) or ‘Quatre Bras’ (four arms) of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers. Phnom Penh is a city of more than two million people, the capital of Cambodia and the country’s commercial, economic and political hub. It is also a comparatively new travel destination.

Phnom Penh is a real oasis compared to the modernity of other Asian capitals with its wide tree-lined boulevards and French colonial buildings but with recent urban development it is quickly morphing an air of edgy chic with bistros and boutique hotels lining the riverfront, smart little silk boutiques and galleries dotting the side streets, a budding art scene and a heady dusk-to-dawn nightlife. With so much to offer the modern traveller the capital of Cambodia still retains an undeniable charm.
