Cambodia’s second city often feels more like a small town than an urban centre but this is certainly one of the attractions. Take time strolling around the riverside area and the quaint colonial shophouse lined streets. This friendly town boasts a wonderful art deco market with a wealth of sellers which is worth a visit.
For those with an interest in history the old railway station is quite fascinating to explore. Out of town there are more sinister remnants of interest including Phnom Sampov killing cave, Wat Ek Phnom. Impressive views can be obtained after ascending the steep steps at Phnom Banan. Enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride through the small village of Wat Kor.
For those who like a bit of adventure the Bamboo train remains a popular activity as you rush along at breakneck speeds on what the locals refer to as a Nori.
