Central Phnom Penh

At times beautiful and beguiling, at times desperate and distressing, Phnom Penh is a crossroad of Asia's past and present, a city of extremes of poverty and excess, but one that never fails to captivate the visitor. Phnom Penh sits at the confluence of the Mekong and the Tonlé Sap Rivers and has a beautiful riverfront area. Long considered the loveliest of French-built cities of Indochina , its charm, while tarnished, has largely managed to survive the violence of its recent history. The national museum and the dark-yellow Art Deco Psar Thmei (central market) are undoubtedly two of the most interesting places to hang around in Central Phnom Penh.
