Ancient, moving, unforgettable: Cambodia is a country of striking beauty, profound history and quiet resilience. At its heart is Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia’s most iconic landmark. We recommend a sunrise visit, when the temple is silhouetted against a glowing sky. Nearby, Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple reveal the grandeur of the ancient Khmer Empire, with stone gates and serene, smiling faces carved into towering towers, rich with symbolism and history. Cambodia’s cultural attractions allow you to step into a Southeast Asia adventure you won’t soon forget.

Visit Cambodia : get started
Start with a temple tour at Ta Prohm, where nature and history intertwine and massive tree roots snake through crumbling stone walls, creating an almost surreal atmosphere that feels frozen in time.
In the capital, Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s royal and spiritual heritage shines at the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, where golden spires, intricate murals and sacred relics reflect centuries of tradition. The city also offers moments of deep reflection at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, powerful memorial sites that speak to the nation’s strength and recovery.
