Temple world
Angkor and the Khmer Empire
Angkor Wat is only one part of the vast temple region. Sites from different eras deserve more than a rushed visit.
Travel tips and inspiration
Cambodia is famous for the temples of Angkor, but the country offers far more than its best-known attraction. Lively cities, quiet river landscapes, pepper plantations and tropical islands reveal very different sides. Our Cambodia travel tips include personal travel stories and advice for Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Kampot, Sihanoukville and other destinations.
Around Siem Reap, Angkor Wat and numerous smaller temples tell the story of the Khmer Empire. Phnom Penh combines the Royal Palace, markets and modern districts with places that remember difficult chapters of the country’s recent past. In the south, the pace slows considerably between Kampot, Kep and the offshore islands.
We show you impressive temples, interesting cities and places where nature and relaxed travel take centre stage. Our experiences help you combine famous highlights with regions that make Cambodia’s diversity particularly visible.
