Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh sits at the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Bassac rivers, and its waterfront promenade is the city's social heart. The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda compound dazzles with golden spires and emerald Buddha statues. The National Museum, housed in a beautiful terracotta-colored Khmer building, holds the world's largest collection of Khmer art. The sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Killing Fields at Choeung Ek are essential visits for understanding Cambodia's recent history. The revitalized streets around the riverside are lined with cafes, galleries, and boutique hotels in restored colonial buildings. The Central Market (Psar Thmei) occupies a stunning Art Deco dome, and the Russian Market offers everything from vintage clothing to local crafts. The emerging Bassac Lane area has become a hub for rooftop bars and street food.
