Why you'll love it
Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, the vast temple complex in northwest Cambodia. It gets Triptakeo's top score for both culture and value, making it one of the most rewarding and affordable cultural trips in Asia.
The best time to visit Siem Reap is November to February, the cool, dry season, with comfortable days for exploring the temples. March to May is very hot, and the wet season brings green landscapes.
Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covers hundreds of temples. Watch sunrise over Angkor Wat, see the giant stone faces of the Bayon, and visit Ta Prohm, with trees growing through its ruins. Buy a multi-day pass and hire a tuk-tuk driver. In town, Pub Street and the night markets are lively in the evening.
Siem Reap suits culture lovers, history fans and budget travellers.
