Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Practical guide
Travel cliche or not, the ‘old meets new’ narrative is a vivid and persistent theme during Siem Reap and Angkor Wat holidays. It’s a region where ancient ruins collide with 21st century gastronomy and dreamy excursions in ceaseless nature contrast against stays in trendy boutique hotels. History is never more apparent than in the realm of the ancient Khmer Empire and its iconic Angkor temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mesmerising collection of important archaeological sites remain the ultimate travel goal for many. Stories of the past seep into every atmospheric corner; Angkor Wat is the largest and best-known temple and acts as the beating heart of the complex and, more significantly, of Cambodia itself. Spend a few days visiting the temples and discovering new details to marvel at - moving at a relaxed pace is the ideal way to take in one of the world’s premier architectural wonders. Siem Reap is undoubtedly a portal into the ancient world, but it has become a destination worth exploring in its own right. Boasting a number of hip lodgings, a thriving art scene, some of the country’s best eateries and great shopping, Siem Reap has redefined itself as Cambodia’s ‘it’ town.
Siem Reap and Angkor Wat holidays are a clear winner for budding historians craving the magnificence of Southeast Asia’s finest ancient attraction, but dig a little deeper and it’s a destination that caters for a universal audience. Families will find adventure and excitement on bike rides through Siem Reap’s verdant scenery and during scavenger hunts around the ancient abandoned city of Angkor Thom. Trips to the town’s twinkling night market and funfair, plus a dawn jaunt to see the sun's rays appear behind Angkor Wat's distinctive lotus-shaped towers are memory-making moments. For honeymooners, the choice of luxury hotels in Siem Reap, served up with a side of otherworldly history and culture make for a truly incredible trip.
Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Take a trip along the lake and visit the charming floating village of Kamong Phluk where houses are built on tall stilts. Chug past as fishermen reel in their latest catch and children play on the river banks.
Climb onto the back of a scooter and sample the best of what Siem Riep’s night markets and street food stalls have to offer with the help of an expert guide at your side. Take pictures as each dish is prepared before you, then savour every delicious mouthful.
