Places we recommend visiting in Cambodia:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Angkor<\/b><\/h3>\n

1<\/b>.<\/span><\/b> Angkor Wat (Angkor Archaeological Park) <\/b><\/h3>\n

Angkor Wat is one of the top places to visit in Cambodia and for good reason. <\/span>The temple of Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious monument and is undoubtedly a must-see attraction. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, and it can be seen on the national flag of Cambodia.<\/p>\n

This majestic site was once the capital of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 14th centuries, and during its long history<\/a><\/span>, Angkor went through many changes in religion, eventually leading up to Buddhism being the official religion in modern times, with more than 95% of people practicing it across the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Siem<\/p>\n

2. Siem Reap<\/b><\/h3>\n

Add Siem Reap to your travel itinerary in Cambodia<\/span> \u2013 it’s one of the top visited cities in Cambodia. <\/span>Siem Reap is a popular resort town in northwestern Cambodia, and it is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor.<\/span> There<\/span> is plenty more<\/span> to do in-and-around Siem Reap<\/span> besides only seeing the temples.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Phnom<\/p>\n

3.<\/b> Phnom Penh<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another important city to have on your list of places to visit in Cambodia is Phnom Penh. <\/span>Phnom Penh is the largest city in Cambodia, which naturally also makes it the economic, political, and cultural center of the nation. Located on the Mekong River, the city dates back<\/span> to the 15th century, and it has been the capital city ever <\/span>since the<\/span> French colonial days, which is why you can still see some French influence around.<\/p>\n

You can explore the buzzing streets or take a tour of the National Museum and<\/span> The Royal Palace, or you can <\/span>venture out to see the killing fields of Choeung Ek, which tell the stories of the horror and brutality the people of this country suffered under the Khmer Rouge rule.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
