Why visit Siem Reap

Siem Reap is a friendly riverside town in north-west Cambodia and the base for visiting Angkor, the former capital of the Khmer empire and one of the largest religious sites in the world. The Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, starts only a few kilometres north of town.

Angkor Wat itself is the star, especially when the sun rises behind its towers, but the park holds dozens more temples: the stone faces of the Bayon in Angkor Thom and the tree roots wrapped around Ta Prohm are just as memorable. In the evening, the town's Pub Street and night markets fill up.

Highlights

  • Sunrise at Angkor Wat
  • The faces of the Bayon
  • Ta Prohm's tree roots
