READ MOREWhat is Phnom Penh known for?
Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and vibrant atmosphere. It is renowned for historical sites such as the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, and the National Museum, which offer insights into the kingdom’s past. The city also carries the somber history of the Khmer Rouge era, which can be learned about at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields.
Is Phnom Penh safe for tourists?
Phnom Penh is generally safe for tourists, though, like in any major city, it’s important to take regular safety precautions. Petty crimes, such as pickpocketing and bag snatching, can happen, especially in crowded areas. Visitors should also be cautious when travelling at night and should use reputable transport options.
What is the currency used in Phnom Penh?
The local currency is the Cambodian riel (KHR), but US dollars are widely accepted and sometimes preferred. Smaller establishments may only take cash, and it’s advisable to carry small denominations of US dollars. ATMs are readily available. Major hotels, restaurants, and shops do accept credit cards, but it’s not as ubiquitous as in more developed countries.
