The Phnom Penh City Guides answer what every first-time visitor wonders: where the city eats its morning noodles, how to visit the genocide memorials with respect, which markets repay the sweat and where the evening goes after Bassac Lane. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Romdeng Restaurant
Street 240, corner Street 55
Traditional Khmer cooking in a colonial villa, served by a team training young people who once lived on the street. Order the fish amok or lok lak, and try the fried tarantula only if you dare. From the food guide.
Wat Phnom Daun Penh
Norodom Blvd, north
The small hilltop temple behind the story of the city’s name, standing on its highest point. Come late in the day, when local families fill the park below. From the things to do guide.
Kep Crab Market
Kep seafront, about 25 km from Kampot
Choose your crab live from the baskets and have it cooked a few steps away with fresh green Kampot pepper. For most people it is the whole reason to reach the coast. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Phnom Penh
Day one: start around 8am with noodles from the food guide, see the palace quarter and the riverside temples from the things to do guide before the long lunch break, then finish on a rooftop from the nightlife guide. Day two: give the genocide memorials a day of their own, with a quiet lunch in between, and walk the river at dusk with the budget guide. For a slow or rainy day, the family guide’s indoor play centres and the covered Central Market keep everyone cool, and the day trips guide is ready whenever you want Kampot or Kep.
