Welcome to Phnom Penh! This city beautifully blends traditional Khmer and colonial styles, featuring French villas and tree-lined sidewalks. Upon arrival, you will be picked up and transferred for lunch before checking into your hotel. After a brief rest, embark on a visit to the stunning Khmer-style Royal Palace complex, built in 1866 by the predecessors of King Norodom.

Nearby, explore the Silver Pagoda (the Emerald Buddha Temple), home to numerous Buddha statues adorned with gold, diamonds, gemstones, and silver. The tour continues with a stop at the Independence Monument and a visit to the National Museum, a beautiful example of Khmer architecture housing over 5,000 art pieces made from bronze, wood, gold, silver, copper, sandstone, and more. Enjoy a stroll through the riverfront park where four rivers, including the mystical Mekong, converge. Dinner and overnight stay in Phnom Penh.
Day 2: Phnom Penh – City Tour – Departure (B/L)
