Siem Reap is the most fascinating attractive region of Cambodia, also the gateway to discover magnificent Angkor Wat – the world’s most renowned heritage. Siem Reap has much more to be explored such as colonial architecture in the Old French Quarter, museums, traditional Apsara performances, unique Cambodian Phare Circus, Cambodian cultural village, souvenir and handicraft shops, silk farms, rice-paddies of the countryside, fishing villages and bird sanctuary, waterfalls and the floating villages of Tonle Sap Lak.
Siem Reap literally means the “Defeat of Siam”, is the most prosperous region of contemporary Cambodia. Its close proximity to the Angkor Wat temple complex has turned the city into one of the world’s premier travel destinations. The primary attraction for visitors to Siem Reap is the Angkor Wat and the Angkor Temple Region, which blankets more than 300km of northwestern Cambodia. Travelers can’t dramatically leave Cambodia without a visit at Angkor War.
