Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, sits at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers. Visitors come for the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, the National Museum, riverside promenades, markets, and important historical sites such as Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields.

A private taxi or full-day driver in Phnom Penh makes city sightseeing simple — hotel pickup, flexible stops, and air-conditioned comfort. We also provide transfers from Techo International Airport (KTI) and intercity routes to Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Kampot and the borders.

Why use a private car in Phnom Penh?

• Door-to-door from Techo Airport or your hotel
• Combine Royal Palace, museums and markets in one efficient day
• English-speaking driver who can wait while you explore
• Safer and more comfortable than negotiating street taxis for every leg

Practical tips

• Book Techo Airport (KTI) transfer with flight number for meet & greet
• Allow half a day minimum for Royal Palace + National Museum
• Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek are emotionally heavy — plan accordingly
• Evening riverside and night markets are pleasant after the heat of the day

Must-see details

• Royal Palace & Silver Pagoda: Ornate Khmer architecture, silver-tiled floor, emerald Buddha. Open morning and afternoon sessions.
• National Museum: Outstanding collection of Khmer sculpture in a beautiful building.
• Tuol Sleng (S-21): Former high-school turned Khmer Rouge prison – deeply moving. Allow 1.5–2 hours.
• Choeung Ek Killing Fields: Memorial site with audio guide recommended. Combine with Tuol Sleng.
• Wat Phnom: City’s founding temple on a small hill.
• Central Market (Psar Thmei) & Russian Market: Lively for souvenirs, food, and local life.
• Riverside (Sisowath Quay): Sunset walks, cafés, and evening atmosphere.

Sample 2-day itinerary

• Day 1: Morning Royal Palace + Silver Pagoda + National Museum → afternoon riverside & markets → evening drinks or Living Arts performance.
• Day 2: Early Tuol Sleng → Choeung Ek (combined 4–5 hours) → late afternoon free or Russian Market.
