WHAT IS THERE TO SEE ?
You can experience the Cambodian culture just by walking through its streets and mixing with the locals, but if you want to really understand it, you have to learn about its history. The two main places to visit if you want to understand the city is the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21 Prison) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Both an important part of Phnom Penh’s bloody history under Khmer Rouge, the prison stands as a monument to the thousands that were murdered and imprisoned, while the killing fields finally stand as peaceful grounds.While Cambodia’s other major city, Siem Reap, is better known for its many temples and ruins, Phnom Penh has some wats (temples) of its own that deserve some attention: Wat Phnom, Wat Ounalom, Ta Prohm, Wat Langka, Phnom Chisor.
