Imagine that you have just arrived in the capital city of Cambodia and you don't know what to visit…
Phnom Penh Heritage Tour invites visitors to discover some of the cultural and historical richness of this rapidly changing metropolis. Through 24 audio video guides, in 10 languages. Each of the 19 stops invites you to discover 22 sites inherited from the time when Cambodia was placed under French protectorate.
The video guide reveals the history of each place with films, vintage photos and historical anecdotes. It also offers the privilege of virtually entering certain buildings inaccessible to the public.
The transformation of a fishing village into a capital, the first urbanization on a French model, the craze for Art Deco architecture, the organization of the social fabric, the royal family, the lifestyle of the elite at the beginning of the 20th century and the dark hours of the Khmer Rouge regime are all topics discussed during the Heritage Tour.
You will have the opportunity to walk into 3 unusual places like an Hokkien temple, the national library and the royal university of fine arts.
Then, after this overview of the city, we will end up the tour street 240, close to the Royal Palace and the riverside.
Perfect place to continue your visit by your own.
