A mixture of Asian exotica, Indochinese charm and Cambodian hospitality await the visitor to Phnom Penh, situated at the confluence of three great rivers - the 'four arms' or 'four faces' of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers - Phnom Penh is Cambodia's commercial and political hub, and is home to more than a million of the country's 13.1 million people. It is also the gateway to an exotic land... the temples of Angkor in the west, the beaches of Sihanoukville on the southern coast and the ethnic/linguistic minority peoples and jungle of the northeastern provinces.
Phnom Penh offers several cultural and historical attractions including the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, National Museum, Watt Phnom and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum. There are also a variety of services including five-star hotels and budget guest- houses, fine international dining, sidewalk noodle shops, neighborhood pubs and more.

Phnom Penh, like other Cambodian tourist destinations, is in the midst of rapid change. Over the past few years, the number of tourists as well as the number of restaurants, hotels and other tourist services has grown dramatically. There are now direct daily flights to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap from several Asian cities including Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Vientiane, Singapore, Taipei and more. At least four overland border crossings have opened since 1998. Even travel within the county has become easier wid1 several airlines flying domestic routes, regular bus service to Sihanoukville, Kampong Cham, and Kampong Chhnang and road conditions on the national routes gradually improving throughout the country. Cambodia is becoming easier to visit every day.
