Phnom Penh

This self-guided audio walk introduces first-time visitors to central Phnom Penh through some of its most recognizable public spaces. It will suit travelers who want a clear, lively introduction to the city’s royal heritage, everyday street life, and evening market energy.

The route begins at Independence Monument, the lotus-shaped tower completed in 1958 to mark Cambodia’s independence from France. From there, you continue to the Royal Palace of Cambodia, where gilded roofs, layered spires, and manicured grounds show the elegance of Khmer design. The walk then leads to Central Market, the city’s famous domed Art Deco market, where stalls spill over with jewelry, clothing, produce, and household goods.

The tour ends at Phnom Penh Night Market by the riverside, where bright stall lights, the smell of grilled snacks, and racks of fabric and souvenirs create a festive finish. Along the way, you will remember the monument rising above a busy roundabout, the shimmer of palace rooftops, the vast yellow market dome, and the buzz of local shopping after dark.
