Day 1 – Cambodia Tour For Landscapes:  Phnom Penh Sightseeing Tours (-/-/-)

On arrival at Po Chen Tong Airport , you are met and transferred to hotel. The capital city of Phnom Penh was once considered the loveliest city of Indochina. Despite its recent turbulent history, it still maintains considerable charm. A city tour acquaints us with some major sights of Phnom Penh.

 The private quarters of the Royal Palace are now home to the royal family and are therefore very close to the public. At the northern area of the palace grounds is Silver Pagoda, the most sacred temple in the country. We also climb up a small hill to visit the legendary Wat Phnom and enjoy a fantastic view over the surrounding areas.

Day 2 – Cambodia Tour For Landscapes: Phnom Penh – Tonle Bati – Phnom Penh (B/-/-)

The sightseeing tour of Phnom Penh begins with a visit to the National Museum, which is dedicated exclusively to Khmer art and sculpture. The majority of the exhibits are from the Angkor period from 9th to 15th century, but some date from as early as the 4th century.

We continue to one of the city’s lively open markets, Psar Toul Tom Pong, all called the “Russian Market ” where anything and everything is for sales! The Tuol Sleng Prison Museum and the notorious “Killing Fields”of Choeung Ek are not to be missed. A visit to these sights provides a deep insight into the painful bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge. Heading out of town we visit the Tonle Bati with Ta Prohm and Prasat Yeay Peo Temple.
