Phnom Penh Hotels
Once referred to as ‘The Pearl of Asia’, Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh was torn apart by war, only to rise again as an exciting and vibrant city.
As a capital city, Phnom Penh has a modern skyline and bustling streets that are just waiting to be explored. Its cityscape is a varied combination of old meets new, and it’s this mix of the traditional and modern that makes Phnom Penh the type of Asian city that travellers dream of visiting.
The bustling Russian marketplace is the perfect place to buy unique and authentic souvenirs. There’s lots of vendors here who sell genuine designer gear. These are made in local factories, so they’re sold for a fraction of the original price. Just make sure you’ve practiced your haggling skills before arriving!
