The gateway to one of the world’s most extraordinary cultural marvels, Angkor Wat, the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia is a must-visit destination on any Southeast Asia holiday.
The sheer grandeur of the ancient Angkor Archaeological Park earmarks this one of the world’s most majestic locations, where watching the sun rising beyond such intricately constructed temples is a moment never to be forgotten. Come for Angkor Wat, but stay for Siem Reap, where lively local markets, tempting restaurants and the unmistakeable flair of its French colonial heritage make it a city to embrace.
