Which area is best to stay in Siem Reap?

MeTravel AI Assistant

Most visitors stay in Siem Reap for Angkor and in Phnom Penh for the capital.
Siem Reap:

  • Pub Street and Old Market area: central, close to restaurants, bars and the night market, easy to walk around, lively in the evening.
  • Wat Bo and Kandal Village: quieter, with many cafés and boutique guesthouses, still within walking distance of the centre.
  • Along the road towards Angkor: many resorts, suited to a relaxing stay, but you need a car or tuk-tuk to get into town.

Phnom Penh:

  • Riverside (Sisowath Quay): close to the Royal Palace and museums, with many riverside restaurants. Convenient for a first visit.
  • BKK1: many cafés and restaurants, airier and quieter, suited to longer stays.
  • Russian Market (Toul Tom Poung) area: good for shopping and local food.
