Siem Riep Vacation and Trip Information

Siem Reap is the gateway to the Angkor Wat temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with carvings from Hindu tradition and remains of the Khmer people’s civilization. Pick up an antique from the Psar Chaa flea market or gain a new appreciation for small grains on a bicycle tour among the rice patties. Visit the Cambodia Landmine Museum or the Angkor Thom (a 12th-century royal city) to learn more about the area’s history.

Bursting with culture, the town of Siem Reap boasts craft shops, dance performances, fishing villages and more. In contrast, the Old Market area contains many small hotels, restaurants and colonial buildings, not too far from the Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport. The Siem Reap River forms the backbone of a collection of small villages built out of Buddhist tradtion.
