Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. You'll be walking around a lot, and some of the buildings have uneven floors. I had to tiptoe through some areas and regretted wearing sandals.
I suggest checking if there are any temporary exhibitions before visiting. I happened upon one that really complemented the main displays and made my visit even more impactful
Royal Palace
Independence Monument
I suggets visiting on a weekday to avoid the big groups. It was much easier to take photos and appreciate the monument without the crowds.
If you're up for local snacks, there's a street vendor nearby that sells delicious fried bananas. Definitely grab a few after your visit.
I recommend going around 5 PM to catch the sunset. The colors are stunning on the monument and it's a lot cooler than during midday. Perfect for photos!
Wat Phnom
National Museum of Cambodia
i suggest visiting right when they open at 8 am to avoid the crowds, and trust me, it makes exploring the exhibits much more enjoyable. plus, the lighting is nicer for photos at that time!
Choeung Ek Genocide Center
I recommend bringing some water and snacks. There's a small cafe, but I thought the prices were a bit steep. Save your cash for souvenirs instead
