After breakfast, you’ll set out by private vehicle for an immersive introduction to Cambodia’s capital. Today reveals the layers of Phnom Penh — a city where royal grandeur, colonial charm, and modern energy all sit side by side.

The day begins at the magnificent Royal Palace, built in 1866 and still one of the city’s most splendid architectural landmarks. Nearby, visit the Silver Pagoda, famous for its gleaming floor made from thousands of silver tiles and its rich collection of national treasures. From there, continue to Central Market (Phsar Thmei), a lively and historic marketplace where daily life unfolds beneath the striking Art Deco dome.

A hosted lunch is included at a local restaurant, giving you the chance to pause, relax, and sample Cambodian flavours before the afternoon turns more reflective.

Later, visit Choeung Ek, better known as the Killing Fields — a solemn memorial site that offers important insight into Cambodia’s recent history. It is a moving and deeply significant experience, one that helps bring greater understanding to the country and its people.
