Discover the highlights of Siem Reap on a walking tour with your experienced guide.
Meet your guide at your hotel and head to the Royal Residence, the current residence of the King. Explore the Royal Gardens and Royal Park, as the apartments are closed to visitors. During the walk, check out the thousands of bats hanging on the trees during the daytime, a rare phenomenon.
Next, visit Wat Preah Prom Rath, a beautiful modern-looking monastery located in the heart of Siem Reap. Admire the statues on the temple grounds, colorful wall paintings, and decorated rooms. Walk on to Wat Damnak monastery, which houses the Center for Khmer Studies. The center has one of Cambodia’s largest public libraries outside of Phnom Penh.
Continue to Psar Chas, which translates to Old Market. Explore this main market in Siem Reap, known for its number of food stalls selling Cambodian cuisine. Check out the variety of rice, dried fish and pork sausages, vegetables and fruits, and the Cambodian specialty Prahok, a fermented fish paste. Follow your guide through the labyrinth of stalls as you learn more about the everyday life of modern Cambodians.
