Phnom Penh is the capital and largest city of Cambodia. Reborn of the war, is also a city in motion, like a new wave of investors who will changing this classical city. Phnom Penh is a crossroads of past and present of Asia, a city of extremes of poverty and excess, of charm and chaos, but it never fails to captivate.
WHY GO?
The gleaming towers of the royal palace, the rituals of the monks and the lush landscape on the banks of the Mekong River.
AVOID
The ideal is not carrying bulky bags or bags: the theft of motorcycles and tuk tuks are epidemic in Phnom Penh, Western women being the main targets.
GUIDANCE
Phnom Penh is located at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.
WHEN TO GO
Bearing in mind the weather extremely hot and humid in Phnom Penh the best time to visit this city is during the cooler winter months, November to February. In any of the forms, try to avoid the month of April because it is the hottest and also the monsoon season from June to October.
HOW TO GET THERE
Phnom Penh International Airport is the largest airport in Cambodia, located 7 km west of the city.
Since April 2011 there is no tax to be paid at the airport because all taxes are now incorporated into the ticket price.
GETTING AROUND
The tuk-tuk and motorbike taxis are cheap and simple means of transport used to give a tour of Phnom Penh, depending on the number of people traveling. The taxi-bikes are faster and the tuk-tuk drivers are safer. Always negotiate price before booting, then it's too late. And do not be charmed by "Yes, no problem!" Of drivers, because most likely you have not understood what I said.
BUS.
Buses in Phnom Penh are practically nonexistent and are in poor condition.
TAXIS
Taxis are available in some locations, especially near the Foreign Correspondents Club on Sisowath Quay. Most taxis are not metered and fares should be agreed in advance.
TIPS
Attention to the number of doors: the odd are north-south and the numbers will increase as you drive west from the river, and even numbers with west-east increase towards the south.
MONEY
The official currency is the Cambodian riel (KHR) and 1 corresponds to € 5 357.29 KHR.
