Travel to Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, a city rich in French colonial charm set along the banks of the Mekong River. Once known as the “Pearl of Asia,” its faded grandeur is still visible in its old buildings and wide boulevards. The city’s true splendor shines in the magnificent Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, home to priceless Buddhist treasures and intricate artwork that reflect Cambodia’s rich spiritual heritage.
