Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

If you're on a budget, skip the audio guide. I found the info on the signs pretty comprehensive, and that saved me a few bucks. It’s also nice to move at your own pace.

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
Wat Phnom
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!
National Museum of Cambodia

For a cool break from the museum, check out the little cafe inside. Their iced coffee is a lifesaver! Just remember it can get busy around lunchtime, so go before noon.

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

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes because you'll be walking a lot! The paths can be uneven, and you want to enjoy the area without sore feet.

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
