Welcome to the enchanting city of Siem Reap! Known for its rich history and vibrant culture, Siem Reap is a must-visit destination for retirees seeking adventure and tranquility.
Here are the top things to do in Siem Reap:
1. Angkor Wat Temples
- Angkor Wat attracts millions of tourists each year, being the largest religious monument in the world and a bucket list attraction for many. Angkor Wat is an architectural masterpiece, covering an area four times the size of Vatican City. Angkor Wat is the name of just one of the many temples you can explore, where a day pass will give you access to 72 other major temples. Some of the best additional temples to visit include Bayon, Ta Prohm, Ta Som, and Banteay Srei.
2. Kulen Mountain Waterfall
- Located outside the city, this would involve a day trip activity for those looking to appreciate nature with a sense of adventure. The breathtaking waterfall, surrounded by nearby trails, is well worth a photograph or two. Preah Ang Thom, a 16th-century Buddhist monastery near these mountains, is notable for the giant reclining Buddha- the country’s largest.
3. Angkor Pottery Center
- Angkor Pottery Center, run by Siem Reap’s most famous local Cambodian potter Ms Paruth Hann, is a wonderful place to learn the art of Khmer pottery. With the help of a skilled teacher, you will learn how to make five different types of items, with the option to take one home with you.
4. Phare – The Cambodian Circus
- Uniquely Cambodian and daringly modern, Phare (pronounced FAR) offers Siem Reapʼs most unique, authentic, top-rated evening entertainment. More than just a circus, Phare performers use theatre, music, dance, and modern circus arts to tell uniquely Cambodian stories– historical, folk, and modern. The show starts at 8:00 pm each night of the week.
5. Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium
- Angkor Wildlife & Aquarium offers a 500m3 aquarium featuring freshwater species as well as a 600m3 saltwater aquarium. The main aquarium building houses freshwater species endemic to Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are also 10 hectares of outdoor animal exhibits and attractions including tigers, river otters, and crocodiles.
