Rich in ancient ruins, Cambodia is home to Angkor, an area with beautiful, intricate stone buildings, including the famed Angkor Wat temple that is the symbol seen on Cambodia’s country flag. 

Discover the story of how Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital city, literally meaning “Penh's Hill,” came about. It’s been told that the place was named after Lady Penh, whose influence in cementing the city as “the place of four rivers” and one that “gives happiness and success” to the Khmer Kingdom, was great.

Walk Phnom Penh’s art deco Central Market, its many temples, as well as its walkable riverfront filled with parks, restaurants and bars, which will give you a real insight into how the locals live.
