Cambodia Travel Guide
Cambodia Overview
Cambodia is a land of resilience and wonder, where ancient history meets modern spirit. At its heart lies Angkor Wat – a World Wonder and the legacy of the powerful Khmer Empire that once ruled much of Southeast Asia.
In Phnom Penh, visitors can explore the city’s tragic past at the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum, while also experiencing the warmth and optimism of its people.
Beyond the capital, Cambodia offers beaches in Sihanoukville, idyllic islands, and charming provincial towns set amid beautiful countryside.
