What to expect
Trace Phnom Penh’s founding legend at Wat Phnom before walking through the old administrative and commercial quarter.
Combine the pagoda hill with Post Office Square, surviving colonial-era streets and the northern riverfront. The route works best in the morning or late afternoon and should pause at active religious spaces.
Conditions, opening hours, transport and fees can change. Confirm locally before travelling, dress respectfully at religious sites, follow marked routes and ask permission before photographing people.
