Things to do in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: The Best Historic Sites
Budget-minded travelers will appreciate Phnom Penh's reasonably priced hotel rooms (several top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor offer rooms around $40/night). Explore the city's temples, palaces, and the remnants of its French colonial history. Just outside the city, the The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek) are a reminder of Cambodia's tragic past-- a somber contrast to the booming city of today.

These were the execution grounds for the Khmer Rouge.

If you’re new to Cambodian culture and history, a visit to the Cheoung Ek Genocidal Center AMS Killing fields is well worth a visit to for the educational aspect on the harrowing history of the Khmer Rouge. Only 30 minutes or so outside of the city center (easy to reach via tuk-tuk) and 1-2 hours is sufficient time to experience. Warning for families, may not be suitable for young children due to the nature of the experience (I.e the memorial Stupa at the beginning/end of the tour houses skulls and bones from the victims from the era) although again worth taking the family if history has anything to teach us for a better future!

I lived not too far from Wat Langka, and this is one of the most welcoming temples (Wats) you can go to. They welcome anyone who wants to come in and meditate (they have even regular scheduled times in the morning and evening to meditate in group if you like to join). It is a true community inside the big community of BKK1 (one of the most cosmopolitan and central neighborhoods of Phnom Penh).
