Truly impressive, the Royal Palace of Cambodia concentrates all the beauty of Khmer architecture. Although audio guides are available, I strongly recommend taking a private guide. It makes the visit more enjoyable and immersive. A local guide can accompany you through the palace's various structures, telling you about the royal history and rituals, and inviting you to take a close look at the frescoes, sculptures and precious objects. Don't forget to check opening days on arrival in Phnom Penh, as the palace may be closed for special events.

Got kids? Let them escape the heat and enjoy a skating session in an air-conditioned space, with music to boot. Okay, after a few bowls, you end up sweating a bit... but skating to music under the spotlights is so much fun! It's also a real pleasure to see the young people of Phnom Penh come together in this dynamic and friendly place. And as an added bonus, admission is only $2 from Monday to Friday.
