After breakfast, you will be transferred by private vehicle to visit nearby landmarks and attractions. We start with the Royal Palace, built in 1866, gleaming in golden colour—one of Phnom Penh’s most splendid architectural achievements. Next, visit the Silver Pagoda, originally built by King Norodom, featuring nearly 6 tonnes of silver floor tiles.
Continue to the Central Market (Phsar Thmei), also known as the “New Grand Market”, built in 1937 during the French colonial period. This action-packed marketplace is one of the best places to immerse yourself in local culture.
Hosted lunch will be enjoyed at a local restaurant—an opportunity to sample delicious Cambodian cuisine and relax before continuing the afternoon’s journey.
In the afternoon, visit Choeung Ek – “The Killing Fields”, used by the Khmer Rouge regime as an execution site for approximately 20,000 people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves were discovered here after the regime’s fall. Today, the site is a solemn memorial marked by a Buddhist stupa.
