These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Siem Reap, along with a brief description:
♦ Angkor Watt
Sometimes called the Crown Jewel of Siem Reap, Angkor Watt is a must-do before or after any cruise from Siem Reap. This incredible temple complex is so huge that it is easily a half-day trip, if not a full-day excursion. This attraction can get rather crowded by mid-day, so you might opt to get up just before dawn to enjoy it during a beautiful sunrise. You may consider booking a guided tour, as this temple is so enormous that it is easy to get lost and miss out on some of its best features. Of course, you can always choose a self-guided tour if you wish.
♦ Kandal Village
While visiting Siem Reap’s 15th century French Quarter, hop on a three-wheeled taxi and ride into Kandal Village, where you can explore a couple of charming boutiques with many wonderful souvenirs to browse. Among the many cafes, pubs, and boutiques, you can also admire some French Colonial architecture, art galleries, handicrafts and more. There are even a couple of spa facilities if you are in the mood to truly treat yourself.
♦ Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom is another can’t-miss temple when you are cruising from Siem Reap. This historic city served as the last capital of the Khmer Empire, located just west of the Siem Reap River. As soon as you come upon this magnificent temple, you will be greeted by its towering entrance. Depending on the itinerary, many cruise lines offer tours of Angkor Thom as part of a shore excursion, although you can opt to tour this temple on your own.
