Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom have captivated the imagination of travelers for centuries - one has to look at the Cambodian flag to understand the significance of the former temple complex, and visit during sunset or sunrise to experience the UNESCO World Heritage site in all its magical glory. If you're planning to visit the archaelogical park and nearby enigmatic temple ruins being swallowed by the jungle, you'll most likely make base at Siem Reap.
Siem Reap is home to many cultural attractions in its own right, including a bustling market and silk farm. For sophisticated travelers, the real gems are its luxury hideaways, which are some of the best resorts in Cambodia offering authentic experiences and rare behind-the-scenes access to the destination.

Angkor Wat may be the biggest attraction in Cambodia, but the country is much more than this larger-than-life World Heritage site. Phnom Penh is a 5-hour drive (or 45-minute flight) away, and once a week, a 50-minute flight brings travelers to Sihanoukville, the launch point for Song Saa Private Island.
