Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia since 1434, is not only the biggest but also the wealthiest city in the country. The city is in the south-central part of the country and offers beautiful and historical architecture and attractions such as the Royal Palace, vintage colonial buildings, and temples.
Some major parts of the city are divided up by grand boulevards including Monivong and Norodom boulevards going north to south and Pochentong and Sihanouk boulevards going east to west.

Boeung Keng Kang 1 Area
Boeung Keng Kang 1 (or BKK1 for short) is located southeast of the Independence Monument. The area is known as the foreigner or NGO or UN neighbourhood – this is where you’ll find embassies, UN and NGO offices and many stylish restaurants, cafés, boutiques, spas and travel agents, as well as modern apartments. The area is considered the most charming in Phnom Penh.
There’s a local market by the name Boeung Keng Kang Market worth having a look at, with many clothes and second-hand products for sale. Also, if you fancy ‘real’ local food, stop by the stalls just south of the monument. Here they have food available until very late at night. Hotel options abound in this area, such as the Frangipani Villa-90s Hotel and La Palm Boutique Hotel.

Sisowath Quay is a long boulevard that runs along the intersection of the Tonlé Sap and Mekong rivers for about 3 km. The boulevard is lined with boutiques, bars, cafés, restaurants and luxury hotels (including the FCC Phnom Penh Boutique Hotel and The Quay Boutique Hotel).
There are ample dining and drinking options along the way, whether you're up for sampling authentic Khmer, Mexican, French Indian or Italian flavours. In between, you can enjoy a variety of things to see and do, from releasing live birds from cages to getting your fortune told by one of the many fortune tellers lining the esplanade.
On the western side of the Sisowath Quay is the Royal Palace that is still the residence of Cambodia’s king. For learning about the culture and history of Cambodia, you can head to the National Museum from Sisowath Quay and explore one of the world’s largest collections of Khmer cultural and historical artefacts.
