Pavilion Hotel

I SUGGEST TO WALK AND PLAY HERE Was really fun seeing people having fun with their family and friends.and there was no problem at all at the park and also meeting and chitchatting either new people.

Neat to see! It’s right next to the independence monument so you’re able to see both of them at once. It’s carved nicely and very walkable.

Dedicated to Sihanouk's achievement in liberating the country on November 9, 1953 from French colonialism Better visit in the afternoon, to avoid extreme hot and get nice pic.

The Norodom Sihanouk Memorial, also known as the statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk, is a prominent landmark in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, commemorating the late "King Father" of the nation. The bronze statue stands 4.5 meters (15 feet) tall and is housed under a traditional Khmer-style stupa reaching 27 meters (89 feet) in height. Unlike many royal monuments, it depicts the late King Father in a modern business suit rather than traditional royal regalia.

The King Norodom Sihanouk Statue is a well-known landmark in central Phnom Penh, located near the Independence Monument. Built in 2013, it honors Norodom Sihanouk, who passed away in 2012. The statue stands 4.5 meters tall beneath a striking 27-meter Khmer-style shrine, making it easy to spot—even if it’s a bit tricky to reach because of the busy roads around it. It should be visited also at night, when it's lit up.

Situated right in the heart of Phnom Penh, the **Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument** and its surrounding park area stand out as an idyllic sanctuary for both locals and travelers, especially after sunset. This location is widely considered the absolute ideal spot for an evening stroll in the capital. As night falls, the entire monument lights up beautifully, and the expansive square transforms into a lively yet peaceful gathering place. It is a wonderful place for walking, jogging, or simply sitting down to catch the cool, refreshing breeze blowing from the nearby riverfront. What makes this area truly special is that it serves as one of the exceptionally rare green spaces in the bustling, densely built concrete jungle of Phnom Penh. The lush lawns and open air offer a much-needed breath of fresh air and a sense of tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere in the city. If you want to

Iconic tower the symbols freedom from the French. It sits very high, and makes for great photos. I went early am and it wasn’t crowded at all, empty photos! The whole thing is carved very well, and right in town.

The Independence Monument (Vimean Ekareach) is an iconic 20-meter tall reddish-brown sandstone tower located in the heart of Phnom Penh. Built in 1958, it commemorates Cambodia's independence from French colonial rule in 1953 and honors the country's fallen heroes. The tower is shaped like a blooming lotus bud, a symbol of purity and awakening in Khmer culture. Coolest roundabout I’ve seen.

It's a beautiful monument bathed in golden-colored light at night. There is a large city hall where visitors can have a full 360 degree view of the traffic, business shop houses, and skyscrapers. If you have evening time to kill and would like an outdoor atmosphere, this place is not bad.

I’m here Phonm Phen, Cambodia today, 28 March 2026. History is rolling and its prosperous seasons will come again. Empire will be forever and coming soon.

It's such a lovely park. Good for evening walk

Clean, large square. Public toilets available for a fee. Lots of fun going on in the evening. People dance and play games. The very bad air is very stressful, though.

Good place for jogging 🏃‍♂️ and running

In the park theres the Cambodia–Vietnam Friendship Monument, is a large concrete monument commemorating alliance between Vietnam and Cambodia. It features heroic statues of Vietnamese and Cambodian soldiers in the "Socialist realist" style, together with a woman and a baby representing Cambodian civilians.

Absolutely beautiful wat. Friendly people, even let me look inside a newly constructed pair of Pagodas that wasn't open to the public yet. In one of the temples, there is a wax figure or mummy of a monk...I am thoroughly unsure about if it is actually wax or a real human being. Went there 2 times and still wasn't sure. 🤣🙈

It feels like you’ve completely gotten lost in time! Everything is so well preserved. The grounds are large and look beautiful! The buildings have beautiful architecture and art, absolutely stunning. It’s $10 to get in, but well worth it. I arrived shortly after they opened on a Saturday, and it wasn’t crowded at all. There’s lots of historical items and knowledge here. I really enjoyed my experience.

Beautiful Royal Palace with stunning buildings. The staff were lovely …. Until we reached the Silver Pagoda when we had an unpleasant incident: one little guard was very aggressive and accused me of trying to take photos (I wasn’t, and tried explaining to him that I was opening Google on my phone to learn about the silver floor, but he accused me of lying, which I found very upsetting). So I would normally have given this five stars, but knocked two off for this man’s aggression and refusal to believe me. Not a good look when a country is trying to attract tourists. We have been in Cambodia for a month now and never encountered anything but warm welcomed and smiles. This took the shine off somewhat.

Beautiful palace. As in the other places in Cambodia, this is also extremely well maintained and neat. Built by the king Norodom in 1860s and rebuilt in 1920s, it is also the resudence if the current king Norodom Sihomoni. You cannot enter this building ( king's residence) inside the palace. Lovely smelling flowers. The palace is near the banks of the rivers Mekong and Ton le sap. Entrance fee and guide fee. 8-5 open hours with a break in between(11-2), I think. Dress appropriately. Shoulders covered, knees covered, no hats, shoes to be removed inside the buildings, temples etc. Weat shoes that can be removed easily

Very impressive. Is $10 US over the top? Yeah possibly is but no doubt it’s beautiful in there. I didn’t mind and lost myself in photography to be honest. Nothing is cheap these days an unfortunate fact of life. I’d recommend it. Initially I wasn’t going to go but glad I did

Well, it’s glamorous and serves as a great reminder of Cambodia’s richness and Khmer architecture. However, some areas were off-limits and unfortunately, you can’t go back once you’ve entered a particular area. I mistakenly hired a guide, who rushed me through the pavilions and pagodas in about 30mins. I wanted to go back to fully get my money’s worth (I think the ticket was $10) but I wasn’t allowed to. This is probably one of those places you’ll only visit once, and for me, it’s totally skippable. Honestly, I enjoyed feeding the pigeons and watching the locals outside more than seeing the glamorous golden interiors and structures inside the palace.

Best club in town. Come finding tin tin will be more fun. Music was so cool.

Club was good. International music mostly. Really much fun with tin tin a lot .

Good vibes. Really having fun with tin tin. So amazing staff.

Really having a good time with tin tin!!! So much fun in the club. Good price for the drinks and good music. Really recommend for party in Phnom Penh.

Bassac Street is famous for its great food and drink options: Restaurants with local and international food. Secret bars with special cocktails. Street food with tasty Cambodian dishes. A 4K walk through one of Phnom Penh's red light districts along Street 136, Street 130 and Street 118. Phnom Penh is the capital city of Cambodia and I believe this is the biggest red light nightlife district in the area full of bars, hostess bars, massage parlous, restaurants etc

A great place for a night out in Phnom Penh. It has many bars and small clubs with a lively atmosphere. You’ll find a lot of foreigners and tourists here, making it a fun and social place to hang out, have some drinks, and enjoy the nightlife. A good spot to visit if you want to experience Phnom Penh’s evening scene.

A group of narrow streets filled with a lively and colorful ambiance. Many hidden bars, eateries, and music venues enhance the atmosphere. The best time to visit is in the evening or late evening to enjoy some beers and food. Perfect place to visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bassac Lane, Phnom Penh – A Different Side of the City Bassac Lane is widely known as one of the most vibrant nightlife areas in Phnom Penh, located just off Street 308 in the Tonle Bassac district. What makes it special is not just the concentration of cocktail bars and small venues, but the atmosphere - compact, energetic, and full of character. This visit captured a completely different side of it. The lane feels unusually open, calm, and almost cinematic, with colorful decorations moving in the wind and space to actually take in the details of the place. It’s a rare moment where you can see the design, layout, and personality of each venue without the usual crowds. Under normal conditions, this area transforms into a lively social hub in the evening, attracting a mix of locals, expats, and visitors looking for quality drinks and a more refined alternative to larger nightli

Bassac Lane is one of Phnom Penh’s most vibrant nightlife spots, offering a cozy mix of trendy bars, live music, and a relaxed social atmosphere. Tucked away in a charming alley, it has a unique blend of modern style and local character, making it a great place to unwind with friends or explore the city’s evening scene. The drinks are varied, the ambiance is lively yet intimate, and the overall vibe feels welcoming and energetic. Whether you're looking for craft cocktails or a casual night out, Bassac Lane is definitely worth a visit.

Museum has a nice courtyard and a lot of awesome things on displays. The cards for them are often lack luster and when they have more text can be sometimes off in interpretation. Great place for gifts though of high quality. Prices are a little higher in the shop but the service is great, they'll tell you the meanings and all. Great older sister guiding us.

I’ve never been to the Museum until my last trip to Cambodia and it was super cool to see! It had lots of information that was so interesting to learn about. Additionally had some super cool artifacts that, in order to preserve them, aren’t at any of the temples in siem reap! Along with the bell than came from the tower of the Cathedral of Phnom Penh before it was destroyed by the Khmer rogue! Very unique and awesome!

This was my nephew’s first visit to Cambodia and also his first time visiting this museum. He really enjoyed the experience and fell in love with Cambodia. The museum is well organized, informative, and a wonderful place to learn about Cambodia’s history and culture. We had a great time and highly recommend visiting.

The architecture of the museum is beautiful and reflects traditional Khmer design. I was especially impressed by the Angkor-era sculptures and the peaceful garden in the center of the museum. The exhibitions were well organized, making it easy to understand the history and culture of Cambodia. Highly recommend visiting the museum for anyone interested in Khmer history, art, and culture. It is both educational and enjoyable, and it helped me appreciate the rich heritage of Cambodia.

Its quite a nice introduction to Cambodian culture & history. The building and grounds are pretty good and the general atmosphere is tranquil. For $10 or 4500 riel I guess it’s a pretty good way to spend an hour or so.

I recently visited the Royal Palace Park in Phnom Penh and had a wonderful experience. The park is very clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The view of the Royal Palace is stunning, especially during sunset when the atmosphere becomes even more special. There is plenty of space to walk around, sit, and enjoy the fresh air. It’s also a great spot for photos. I really liked the calm environment it’s a nice escape from the busy city. You can see families, tourists, and locals all enjoying the area together. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Royal Palace Park if you are in Phnom Penh. It’s a simple but beautiful place to spend some quiet and relaxing time.

Royal Palace Park is a beautiful place to visit, offering a peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained surroundings. The gardens are lovely to walk through, and the combination of nature and historic architecture makes the experience even more special. It's a great spot to relax, take photographs, and appreciate the beauty and cultural heritage of the area. A wonderful place to include in your itinerary and definitely worth a visit.

The park provides exceptional views of the iconic Moonlight Pavilion and surrounding royal architecture without needing an entrance ticket. It comes alive in the late afternoon and evening when cool river breezes draw local families, street food vendors, and tourists together in a lively, authentic community atmosphere there .

My favorite place to hangout on weekends during my visit in Cambodia. So many food options, people selling dessert, drinks, and so many Khmer food options to try. There’s people playing games, performances, and other things going on along the river walk. I’d recommend also coming here for an early morning walk and to see the sunrise. Cambodia is such a special place to visit.

Definitely one of the most important tourist attractions in the city. As you enter, you get access to both the Royal Palace area and the Silver Pagoda complex. Some buildings are under construction, a few areas are not accessible, and photos aren’t allowed inside the temples or buildings — a bit of a bummer considering the ticket is 40,000 riel per person, which feels a bit steep. Overall, though, it’s still a worthwhile visit and I recommend it.
