The Majestic Giant Clock of Phnom Penh: A Timeless Landmark

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are in the central area of Phnom Penh, you can walk to The Giant Clock. Start at the Royal Palace, which is a well-known landmark. From the Royal Palace, head north on Street 240 towards the intersection with Norodom Boulevard. Turn left (west) onto Norodom Boulevard and walk for about 500 meters until you reach the intersection with Street 184. Turn right (north) onto Street 184 and continue walking straight. You will see The Giant Clock as you approach the roundabout just ahead. The clock is located at the center of the roundabout, so it will be hard to miss.

• Tuk-Tuk

  If you're looking for a quicker option, consider taking a tuk-tuk. You can easily find one at most tourist areas. Tell the driver 'The Giant Clock' or show them the address: '12202, Phnom Penh'. The driver will navigate through the streets, and you can expect to arrive in about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. The tuk-tuk will drop you off at the roundabout where The Giant Clock is located.

• Cyclo

  For a unique experience, you could take a cyclo, which is a three-wheeled bicycle taxi. You can find a cyclo near popular tourist spots or on the street. Negotiate the fare before you start your journey. Ask the cyclo driver to take you to The Giant Clock. The ride should take around 15-20 minutes, and you can enjoy the sights of the city as you travel.

  For the more adventurous, renting a bicycle is a great way to explore Phnom Penh. Many hotels and guesthouses offer bicycle rentals. Start from your accommodation and head towards the riverfront, then follow the river until you reach the intersection with Street 184. Turn left on Street 184 and bike straight towards the roundabout. The Giant Clock will be visible ahead, and you’ll enjoy a leisurely ride while discovering the city.
