About Siem Reap

Why Visit Siem Reap, Cambodia

Welcome to Siem Reap, the hidden Asian treasury, where travelers from all corners of the planet come to witness the ethereal beauty of the massive temples and alluring nature. Are you ready for an unforgettable getaway to the ancient world?

The capital city of the Cambodian Siem Reap province is picturesquely situated on the bank of the Tonle Sap Lake, which is the largest source of fresh water in Southeast Asia. The name of the city literally means "Siamese defeated," a reminder of the Khmer Empire's triumph over the Thai Kingdom in the 17th century. Though the Khmer Empire no longer exists, the Siem Reap temples are legendary remnants of an advanced civilization that still symbolize its incomparable power.

Any Siem Reap itinerary won't be complete without paying a visit to the UNESCO-listed Angkor Archaeological Park, which features more than 50 Buddhist and Hindu temples. The iconic gem of the complex is the spectacular Angkor Wat Temple. As one of the largest religious monuments in the world, this awe-inspiring shrine strikes visitors with its incredible level of detail. Richly adorned with stone statues, countless Buddha images, and astonishing bas-reliefs, Angkor Wat is well-known for its more than 3,000 unique figurines of heavenly nymphs carved into its walls!

Beyond appreciating the beauty of local architecture, there are plenty of things to do in Siem Reap. Save some time to visit one of the nearby floating fishermen's villages, learn about Cambodian history at the Landmine Museum, or attend a mesmerizing Apsara Dance Show. Looking for authentic evening entertainment? For an unusual experience, pop into the Cambodian Phare Circus to see the best performers of Siem Reap and let yourself be enchanted by their amazing vibe and energy!
