Phnom Penh by Cyclo

A Remarkable City Seen from a Thrilling Perspective Tour Phnom Penh on your own private cyclo. You will meet your skilled driver-guide and set off into the city for an exciting excursion. Visit the magnificent Royal Palace, built in the 19th century by the French Protectorate but inspired by the centuries-old architecture of the Khmer. In 1863, King Norodom signed the Treaty of Protection with France and the Royal Court was moved from Oudong to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. The complex is divided into three main compounds. The Silver Pagoda is on the north side, Khemarin Palace is on the south, and the central compound contains the Throne Hall, still used today for religious and royal ceremonies. You will also see the National Museum of Cambodia, which houses treasures of Khmer art and craftsmanship. Here, you can see the world’s largest collection of Khmer artifacts, as well as other relics that predate the mighty empire. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
