What to expect
Depending on the location of your hotel, we commonly start with the visit the Royal Palace, which was built in 1866 by King Norodom. The Palace is actually a number of structures within a pagoda-style compound. The Silver Pagoda, located within the Royal Palace compound, is so names because of its floor, which is made up of 5,000 silver tiles. The treasures are a solid gold Buddha encrusted with 9, 584 diamonds and weighing 90 kilos and a small 17th century emerald and baccarat crystal Buddha.
Next visit the National Museum, which houses Khmer art especially sculptures, from different periods of Cambodian history, 19th century dance costumes, royal barges and palanquins.
One of the best ways to end is right in the heart of Phnom Penh- the Wat Phnom. This temple is the most significant of all temples in the capital, containing the ashes of King Ponhea Yat, who built the city of Phnom Penh in 1434.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
