Phnom Penh

**Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia. The Royal Palace is a striking centrepiece in the centre of Phnom Penh and is home to the Emerald Buddha and Silver Pagoda. Not far away is the Cambodian Independence Monument that celebrates Cambodia’s sovereignty. A visit to the National Museum captures a slice of Cambodia’s ancient Khmer history and art. A different and more recent history suffocates and overwhelms visitors to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, the former prison of the Khmer Rouge, and The Killing Fields are a short drive from the capital. You can satisfy your hunger pains with delicious French-Indochina-inspired meals at various street stalls or classy restaurants. The riverside area has the Art Deco Central Market for a great bargain and there are a variety of bars, especially near Sisowath Quay. Take time to walk around the French colonial streets with its mix of slow-moving monks and speedy motorbikes. Bookingokey.com has many hotels located in Daun Penh and Chamkar Mon districts.
