[2025 Phnom Penh Attraction] Travel Guide for National Museum of Cambodia (Updated Mar)

🌟🌈Imagine stepping onto an ancient and mysterious land, where every step echoes with history and every breeze carries the scent of stories. Cambodia, a treasure trove in Southeast Asia, made my National Day holiday truly unique with its charm. 🚶‍♂️As soon as I got off the plane, I felt the warmth of the Cambodian people. Their friendliness and respect for Chinese people made me feel at home. However, I also learned a lesson here: while enjoying the convenience of using my phone on the street, I had to be wary of the uninvited "motorbike thieves." The locals' reminders made me more vigilant while enjoying my trip. 🌧️October in Cambodia is the rainy season. Fortunately, a sudden shower brought a touch of coolness to the hot weather. After the rain, Phnom Penh was fresh and quiet, with few tourists, allowing me to enjoy the tranquility. 🏰Speaking of Phnom Penh, I must mention the magnificent Royal Palace. My friend and I traveled light, carrying only some change. The ticket was not expensive, but the sense of history was priceless. Every corner of the palace exuded the splendor and majesty of the Cambodian royal family. 🏛️Next, we visited the National Museum of Cambodia. It houses countless precious artifacts, each telling the long history of the country. The ticket was also $10, but I felt it was worth it because it gave me a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture. 🚗During our trip, we also experienced the local transportation - tuk-tuks. Using Move to call a tuk-tuk was convenient and fast, and it only cost 27 yuan to reach the Choeung Ek Killing Fields. This place is a scar in Cambodia's history, but also a history that cannot be forgotten. Listening to the Chinese commentary, I felt as if I had traveled through time and space, feeling the weight of that history. 🍽️Speaking of food, Cambodian cuisine is a must-try. It is cost-effective and authentic, especially the local Amok fish, which is a feast for the taste buds. As for accommodation, I recommend trying local homestays, which are affordable and offer a deeper experience of local life. 📌Travel tips: Remember to bring sunscreen and rain gear, as the weather in Cambodia can change quickly. Also, learning a few simple Khmer phrases, such as "thank you" and "how much," will make your trip smoother. 🌟Cambodia, a country full of historical and cultural charm, gave me an unforgettable travel experience. Here, every step is an exploration, and every glance is a discovery. If you are also looking for a unique trip, Cambodia is definitely your best choice. 🌟

This museum in Phnom Penh showcases an impressive collection of Khmer art and artifacts. We can get a deep dive into the country’s rich and longstanding culture and history. Getting There - Hired a day tour with local tour guide and this was one of the highlights of the day. Highlights - There was a local museum guide in addition to my local tour guide to help is fully appreciate Cambodia's history and culture through the artefacts in the museum. We can see that religion played an important part in ancient time Cambodia through all the different religious sculptures. The museum building itself has a very unique architecture as well with beautiful roofs. #localtourguides #history #phnompenh #cambodia #100waysoftravel

⛱️Must-see attractions: Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh is the residence of the Cambodian royal family and a must-visit for tourists. The Silver Pagoda is paved with more than 5,000 silver bricks, shining with a unique light. National Museum The museum houses a large collection of Khmer art, including sculptures, ceramics, and ancient manuscripts. It is an excellent place to learn about Cambodian history and culture. Wat Phnom Wat Phnom is located on a small hill in the city center and is one of the oldest temples in Phnom Penh. From the top of the hill, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city. Russian Market This is a paradise for shoppers. A wide range of goods from handicrafts to clothing are available at affordable prices. 🌄Travel tips: Best time to travel The best time to travel to Phnom Penh is from November to February of the following year. The climate is cool during this period, making it suitable for outdoor activities. Transportation guide Public transportation in Phnom Penh is relatively limited. It is recommended to use Tuk-Tuk (tricycle) or taxi for travel. Tuk-Tuk is a good choice to experience the local customs. Cultural etiquette When visiting temples, please dress appropriately and avoid revealing clothes. When entering the temple, you need to take off your shoes and keep quiet. 🏨Accommodation tips: Luxury hotels There are many five-star hotels in Phnom Penh, such as Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, which provide first-class services and facilities. Budget accommodation For budget travelers, you can choose guesthouses or youth hostels in the city center, which are affordable and convenient for transportation. Homestay experience Try living in a local's home and experience the real Cambodian life, which is also a different way of travel. 💗Other tips: Currency and payment The official currency of Cambodia is the riel, but the US dollar is also widely accepted. It is recommended to carry some cash, as not all places accept credit cards. Safety tips Phnom Penh is generally safe, but you still need to be vigilant when traveling, especially at night and in crowded places. Food culture Trying local food such as Amok and Cambodian hot pot is an important part of experiencing local culture.

If you’re heading to Phnom Penh and you want to see a glimpse of Cambodia’s history you need to check out the national museum. It’s really close to the palace so you can get both done in a morning of an afternoon. It is $10 entry for foreigners, just tell them your home country (I didn’t need my passport but I know some people have been asked for it before, so take it just incase!) The building itself is beautiful, a big building built around an open central courtyard. The museum is quite basic with limited souvenirs, but there are plenty of shops and cafes in the surrounding areas. #mytravelhacks #cambodia #phnompenh #museums #100WaysOftravel

#thingstodo National Museum of Cambodia The National Museum of Cambodia, located in Phnom Penh, is renowned for its impressive collection of Khmer art, sculptures, and archaeological treasures. Really appreciate its serene atmosphere and well-curated exhibits that offer insight into Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage, especially the exquisite sculptures from Angkor era. The museum provides a comprehensive glimpse into the country’s history, making it a must-visit for those interested in Cambodian art and culture. I visited the National Museum today, and I was truly impressed by the extensive collection of artifacts and sculptures on display. The diversity of items, especially those from the Angkor period, was fascinating. The $10 USD ticket for foreigners was definitely worth it for the enriching experience. I highly recommend a visit to this museum for anyone interested in Cambodian history and culture. An amazing collection of artifacts from the Khmer empires. Many fine examples of Khmer art dating back to the 6th century, it is a must see for those who enjoy this beautiful artwork. Building is amazing in itself, built in the mid to late 30's, it surrounds an inner courtyard with pools as well as artifacts. There is a nice aircon Cafe outside the main building you can get refreshment from either before or after your visit. Spent 2 hrs in the museum and probably missed a fair bit as there is so much to see. Highly recommend!

In the Spring Festival of 2020, I set foot on Cambodia with anxiety and unease. Cambodia, I never thought this country could be so cleansing to the soul. Its prosperity has faded away, sometimes even shabby, but it is said to be so sunny, simple, and full of hope. Plane landed in Phnom Penh, mainly visiting two major scenic spots: 1. The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh: It is the palace of the King of Cambodia, consisting of a group of buildings with golden roofs and yellow surroundings, with exquisite design and magnificent appearance. The palaces are all pointed, representing prosperity. The main colors of the palace body are yellow and white, with yellow representing Buddhism and white representing Brahmanism. The Royal Palace of Cambodia is indeed magnificent, but there is a world of difference between inside and outside the palace walls. 2. The National Museum of Cambodia adopts the architectural style of Khmer ancient temple with hipped roofs and carved doors, which reminds me of the architecture of the Black Temple in Chiang Rai (they belong to the same school). It integrates Khmer traditional architecture with French colonial style. The museum introduces the history of Cambodia, mainly including the pre-Angkor period, Angkor period, and post-Angkor period. The exquisite carvings of the Angkor period are breathtaking. It also makes me look forward to the trip to Angkor Wat starting tomorrow. Continuing to send to Siem Reap, Angkor Wat is divided into the Great and Small Angkor Wat. Simply put, the Great Angkor Wat is a city, while the Small Angkor Wat is a temple, also known as the Angkor Wat Temple. It is the pattern on the Cambodian national flag and the most exquisite part of Angkor Wat. If we talk about the biggest feeling of going to Angkor, it should be the collision of time and space. Here, you can see the rise and fall of a dynasty, the call of a disappeared city sleeping underground for centuries. Angkor is a city of vicissitudes. At every stage of life, coming here will bring different feelings. On the first day, we visited the so-called small circle, mainly Banteay Srei, the palace and temple, and Ta Prohm... Rather than saying that Angkor is a scenic spot, it is more like a kind of sentiment. Many people say that they must go to Angkor Wat once in their lifetime. As for me, it finally lifted the veil of Khmer and let me touch the distant faith, feeling the tranquility and vicissitudes of the ruins. On the second day, we visited the outer circle, including the Queen's Palace, Beng Mealea, Bakheng Temple (the architecture of Angkor is exquisite, and the structural design is clever, making it easy to take beautiful photos). The last stop was Ta Prohm, the shooting location of "Tomb Raider". Quoting a passage from "In the Mood for Love" to end the trip to Angkor Wat: "If you can't forget it, it means you haven't buried the secret in your heart, so you must go to Angkor Wat. If you want to start a new life, you should bring her to Angkor Wat, sit on the high Angkor Wat together, watch the sunrise and sunset, experience the vicissitudes of life, and express your endless sentiment." In Angkor, there is a natural tranquility and beauty, where every stone tells a story of the past. Being in the city, one's thoughts are endless, feeling their own ignorance and rudeness towards the weighty civilization. Here, some see the rise and fall, some see life and death, some are intoxicated by the scenery, and some gain enlightenment about life. However, Angkor remains silent, only smiling and watching the cycle of the world and the rising and setting of the sun and moon. A thousand years is but a moment.

#celebratewithtrip The National Museum of Cambodia. It is located on Preah Ang Eng Street,13, Phnom Penh. It is one of the world's largest collections of Khmer cultural material. Entrance fee prices are US$5 for foreigner ages from 10 to 17 years old, US$10 foreigner ages from 18 years old up, 500 Riels for Cambodians. Children and school groups are free. Guided tours can be arranged for individuals or groups at the museum entrance. We went to Phnom Penh by bus from Ho Chi Minh City. There are a lot of tours in HCM to choose going to Cambodia. The bus to Phnom Penh takes about 6 to 7 hours, depending on the bus. You should get to the bus station at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure. The museum promotes awareness, understanding and appreciation of Cambodia's culture and heritage, aiming to educate and inspire its visitors. It is quite educational indeed! #celebratewithtrip #tripinspired #tripmoments #phnompenh #cambodia

Crossing over to Cambodia, a city that is very similar to Thailand in every way, second only to Laos, including the weather, religion, written and spoken language, food, arts and culture, and sometimes indistinguishable national costumes. Today, we came to the National Museum of Cambodia. The layout is similar to Thailand because it is divided into pavilions and pavilions, and ancient objects are displayed. Most of the rooms do not have air conditioning. There are not as many items on display as I thought. I heard a local guide say that most of their items were stolen and taken out of the country. The rest were found later. We asked for them back. The guide shook his head. It was very difficult. Here, they accept Thai baht and US dollars, even folded ones. This is a little different from Burma because they strictly prohibit folding or old items.

We have been wanting to visit the National Museum of Cambodia to check their historical and cultural collections however their opening hours didn’t match our itinerary so we only got the chance to be outside and took few photos. :( Unlike any other museums and temples which are open for tourists and visitors for a whole day, this Museum has a bit of a break in between which is around lunch time. So better check online schedules from time to time to ensure you can come in. ⏰Opening hours: 8 AM to 11:30 AM & 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM 📍Address: Preah Ang Eng St., (13) Phnom Penh Cambodia 🇰🇭 #bucketlistreboot #cambodia #museum #traveltips

CAMBODIA: KINGDOM OF WONDER We actually went for a tri-city(Siem Reap, Cambodia is our favorite and here are some of the reasons why you need to include Cambodia on your bucket list after the quarantine. 1. Food. I mean their supeeeeer yummy food. Khmer dishes didn’t disappoint kasi we did not expect naman in the first place HAHAHA On our way to Cambodia, our judgmental ass was like “Beshy, exotic ata mga food nila dito. Can’t imagine myself eating uod for lunch or tutubi for dinner” We arrived at around 9pm and it was raining pa so we decided to look for food near our chosen accommodation and to our surprise, LIVE COOKING SILA FRIEND as in you can taste the freshest shrimp straight from the aquarium pa and it’s not even a mamahaling restaurant. But if you wanna maximize your Khmer food experience don’t DARE miss the Pub Street. Open siya every night lang. We decided to eat there on our last night in Siem Reap. We tried their Beef Lok Lak, and trust me ang sarap. Im crying!!!! Beef noodle soup is only 2USD (Yup, dollars po yung money nila) and it’s good for two na but we made it for three kasi ang dami ng servings. Sweet and Sour shrimp is only 3USD and it comes with rice na din their squid is 1.75USD each. Ano say ng dampa? Must try dishes: Beef Lok Lak (Taste can be compared to stir-fried beef and black pepper beef combined but mas masarap) and Fish Amok (Basically it’s a curried fish but not too spicy and a bit sweeter. It is usually served in banana leaf) Mostly ng food nila comes with rice na kaya super sulet talaga. 2. Freshest Fruit Shakes. For those na mahilig sa fruits, this is the best place to be. Ang SARAP AT ANG LALAKI din ng servings 😅 Imagine ordering an Avocado shake for only 1USD with a size larger than Starbucks’ venti. Ito ang literal na daks na hahanap-hanapin mo mama. Choosy ka pa ba? We tried the pineapple, avocado and mango shakes na mas madaming fruits kesa sa ice. Sorry, Frutas 😅 3. Souvenir Shops. Mahihiya yung Divisoria and Taytay sa tawad na ibibigay nila. Imagine going there tas you’ll be approached by Cambodian women in their super malambing na accent “Hello Ladies. How much do you have? Ill give you discount” Yes, sila mag aadjust sa budget mo. I can still remember getting a souvenir worth 1 dollar na originally 3 dollars talaga. Di ka nila tatantanan hanggat di mo kukunin yung products. Hanggat kaya nila ibigay, ibibigay nila. Ganun dapat! Char! They have rattan bags din similar to the one of Indonesia. And ang gaganda din ng quality promise!!!! 4. Pub Street. I know I mentioned this awhile ago pero isasama ko pa din siya sa list kasi Pub Street alone is an enough reason to visit Siem Reap, Cambodia. Na shookt kami sa dami ng foreigners. Best place for night life kasi again open lang siya every night. Kaya good choice din yung accommodation na nakuha namin kasi walking distance lang siya. #foodie #nationalpark #themepark #urbanexplorers

It’s pointless visiting this museum if you don’t take an audio guide. Sure lots of exhibits have brief descriptions but you get so much more info with guide, instead of just walking around not knowing what you’re looking at. Lots of carvings/statues/ Buddha etc, but also some interesting artifacts....sadly some with unknown provenance. Spend a couple of hours here, they have a small cafe and lovely gardens too.

Location: National Museum of Cambodia The temple-inspired building built in the 1920s houses traditional Khmer art and religious artifacts. The exterior walls of the museum are a noble and elegant rust-red color, with roofs stacked in rows and pointed ridges. There is a small golden pagoda on top. The building is gorgeous and beautiful, with a very Khmer architectural style. (The last picture) I saw the half-human, half-bird Garuda, a divine bird in Indian mythology that symbolizes power You can rent an audio guide (in Chinese and English) for $5 that will give a detailed introduction to each exhibit #Go to the museum to explore

👉 This is a country where more than 95% of the population are Buddhists. Over 95% of the entire population practices Buddhism, which is an astonishingly high percentage. ✨Economically, more than 80% of the GDP comes from agriculture. However, subjectively speaking, Phnom Penh feels wealthier than Hanoi, even though both are capitals. I guess it might be because Vietnamese people are more conservative, while Cambodians are more innovative when it comes to making money🧐. 🚗Transportation: In Southeast Asia, you can generally use Grab for taxis! 🍲Food: There are several good restaurants inside the Naga1 hotel in NagaWorld. 🏞Attractions: The Royal Palace and the National Museum are definitely worth a visit.
