Phnom Penh is rightfully ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in SE Asia, known for the visual splendor of its religious sites and rich well-preserved heritage. Nestled on the banks of the Mekong River, it boasts of many restaurants, heritage sites and museums that can pique the interest of a discerning traveler. Once the 'Pearl of Asia', Phnom Penh's shine was tarnished by the impact of the war and revolution. But, the city has since risen from the ashes to take its place among the hip capitals of Asia, with a charming cafe culture, bustling bars and world-class food scene. Phnom Penh International Airport is the largest in Cambodia and is well connected.
