The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh is a must-see for anyone curious about history and culture. This landmark blends Khmer and French architecture, offering a peek into Cambodia’s rich heritage. Built between 1866 and 1870 during King Norodom’s reign, the palace marked the move of the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh. It has seen renovations, especially under King Sisowath from 1912 to 1919, and stands as a cultural and architectural icon of Cambodia. To reach the Royal Palace, a tuk-tuk is a popular choice in Phnom Penh. If you’re staying near the riverfront, walking or using local transport is also convenient. The palace is situated on Samdach Sothearos Boulevard.
