Phnom Penh unfolds along the banks of the Mekong River, where wide boulevards and colonial-era buildings meet bustling markets and riverside promenades. The city’s urban fabric reflects its complex history, with grand structures like the Royal Palace Complex standing amid lively neighborhoods where daily commerce and street life thrive. Phnom Penh’s streets reveal layers of the past, from the ornate spires of Wat Phnom Temple to the sobering exhibits of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, which confront visitors with the city’s difficult twentieth-century history.
