GSIH-002 – Highlights of Phnom Penh

After lunch, start your tour to the Russian Market. This market has a large and varied selection of souvenirs, curios and silks. It has a good selection of silver, gold and jewels, but also carries huge selection of curios, silks, carvings, etc. Most of these stalls are located in the same general area on the south side but the rest of the market is well worth exploring. Next proceed to the Royal Palace, located within the same walled grounds on Sothearos just off the riverfront. Marking the approach, the high yellow wall and spired Chan Chaya Pavilion are the most prominent features from the street. The Royal Palace was built in 1866 under the French protectorate and King Norodom, though many of the buildings in the complex were added over the following decades. Next head to the National Museum. Over 5000 objects are on display including Angkorian era statues, lingas and other artefacts, most notably the legendary statue of the ‘Leper King.’
