• Silver Pagoda - The stunning Silver Pagoda is located next to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. With its beautiful garden, it offers a perfect escape from the bustling streets of Cambodia’s capital. Inside, the pagoda is equally breathtaking, with countless handcrafted silver tiles covering the floor. It is also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha because the main Buddha statue is made of emerald or baccarat crystal.
• Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh chronicles the Cambodian genocide. The site was formerly a secondary school used as Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979. An estimated 20,000 people were imprisoned at Tuol Sleng during this time. Tuol Sleng means “Hill of the Poisonous Trees” or “Strychnine Hill.” It was one of at least 150 torture and execution centers established by the Khmer Rouge, though some sources suggest there were 196 prison centers. On July 26, 2010, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia convicted the chief of Tuol Sleng Prison, Kang Kek Iew (alias Duch), for crimes against humanity and grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, sentencing him to life imprisonment.
• Wat Phnom - Wat Phnom is set atop a tree-covered knoll 27 meters high and is the only hill in town. According to legend, the first pagoda on this site was erected in 1373 to house four Buddha statues deposited by the Mekong waters and discovered by a woman named Penh. The main entrance to Wat Phnom is via the grand eastern staircase, guarded by lions and naga (snake) balustrades.
• Independence Monument - The Independence Monument in Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, was built in 1958 to commemorate Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953. It stands at the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the city center. The monument is lotus-shaped, similar to the style seen at the Khmer temple at Banteay Srei and other Khmer historical sites. Designed by Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, it stands 37 meters tall.

A ceremonial flame on the interior pedestal is often lit by a royal or high official on these occasions, and floral tributes line the stairs. Each year, the Independence Monument attracts both foreign tourists and locals.

• Wat Ounalom - Wat Ounalom is one of Phnom Penh’s five original monasteries, established in 1422. It housed the Institute Bouddhique and library.
