Phnom Penh Travel and Tourism Guide

Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia is home to about 1.3million Cambodians. It is located right on the corners where the 3 rivers meet.

Before the genocide and during its "Sangkum" period in the 60's, Phnom Penh was a bustling metropolitan of its time, surpassing many of it's neighboring countries cities and being named the Pearl of the Orient.

Now Phnom Penh, a small bustling city is slowly recoving from decades of civil war and genocide to be put back on the travel map.

One can easily find the Royal Palace & History Museum on the riverfront, Wat Phnom the most famous Wat in Phnom Penh, Toul Sleng prison (S21) where many innocent souls were lost... even kids. There is one good thing about Phnom Penh, the street is named with number, and it's lay out in the city from east to west in that order which make it easy to find one street out of another.

Phnom Penh still lacks sky rises and the like, but the government has already received proposals for satellite cities on the outskirts of the city to further establish Phnom Penh as a modern city. There are continual constructions going on all over town!
