A mixture of Asian exotica, Indochinese charm and Cambodian hospitality await the visitor to Phnom Penh.  Located where three great rivers converge; the Mekong River, the Tonle Sap and the Bassac Rivers, Phnom Penh is Cambodia's political and commercial hub with some estimates putting the population of the capital at over 1.3 million people with the country itself just a bit over 13,000,000.

From the extraordinary temples of Angkor to the long and desolate beaches of Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh has become a gateway to a rich mix of ethnic diversity and global commerce.

Phnom Penh offers several cultural and historical attractions including the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, National museum, Wat Phnom and the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum.  There are also a variety of services including five-star hotels and budget guesthouses, fine international dining, sidewalk noodle shops and many unique neighborhood pubs and cafes.

Phnom Penh, like the rest of East Asia, is undergoing rapid change and development.  Since the beginning of the new century, both Cambodia's commercial growth and tourism have exploded rapidly.
