What our travelers think about their stay
A truly iconic place to visit when in Cambodia, Angkor Wat is the most famous temple of the vast ancient city of Angkor. It represents the earthly city of the gods, and its finely detailed architecture enables you to delve into the very heart of Buddhist history.

The ancient city of Angkor is the largest religious monument still standing. It is an architectural wonder and an essential place to visit when touring Cambodia.
My suggestion
Go and admire the sunrise at Angkor Wat and the sunset over the Bayon.
It is the biggest religious building in the world, the most visited temple on the site of Angkor, and an absolute must-see during a trip to Cambodia.

To understand the subtle history of Angkor Wat, do the visit with a guide!
Angkor Wat is the largest temple at the Angkor site. It is without a shadow of a doubt one of the places that everyone visiting Cambodia really must go and see.
My suggestion

An exceptional archaeological site inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage, and definitely not to be missed when visiting Cambodia.
My suggestion
Rise at dawn so that you can visit certain temples before the hordes of tourists arrive! If you can, buy your temple passes the day before: it will give you the chance to see the sunset and thus save you some time in the morning.
