All about Phnom Penh
When to Visit
The best time to visit Phnom Penh is during the dry season, from November to March, when the weather is cool and ideal for sightseeing. April and May are the hottest months, making it challenging for outdoor activities. The rainy season, from May to October, brings heavy showers but also lush landscapes and fewer tourists. Plan your visit according to your weather preferences and tolerance for crowds.
Getting Around
Phnom Penh offers various transportation options for exploring the city. Tuk-tuks are the most popular and affordable choice for getting around. Motorbike taxis are ideal for solo travelers, while ride-hailing apps like Grab provide convenient car or bike options. Bicycles and scooters are available for rent, but traffic can be chaotic, so exercise caution. Walking is an enjoyable way to explore the riverside and markets.
Traveler Tips
When visiting Phnom Penh, dress modestly, especially when entering temples or the Royal Palace. Carry cash, as many small vendors don’t accept cards, though ATMs are widely available. Be prepared for hot and humid weather by staying hydrated and wearing lightweight clothing. Try local dishes like amok, kuy teav, and fresh spring rolls. Always negotiate prices with tuk-tuk drivers or use apps like Grab for fair rates. Visit markets like the Central Market or Russian Market for souvenirs, and be respectful when visiting memorial sites like the Killing Fields. Lastly, ensure you have small bills for tipping and making purchases.
