Downtown street in Siem Reap after renovation - The main travel destination in South East Asia

Siem Reap refers to both the province and its capital city. It’s the second most visited city in Cambodia, after Phnom Penh.

The vast majority of people go to Siem Reap for the temples. Angkor Wat is the most famous but it’s just one of over a thousand in Angkor Archaeological Park.

The park covers an area of over 400 square km and contains the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire. Built between the 9th and 15th centuries, they’re collectively a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia.
