The temple city of Angkor is one of humanity's great achievements — vast, intricate and slowly being reclaimed by the jungle.

The must-sees

Sunrise at Angkor Wat, the giant stone faces of Bayon, and the tree-strangled ruins of Ta Prohm made famous by Tomb Raider.

Good to know

Buy a multi-day pass, dress modestly, and start early to beat the heat. Base yourself in lively Siem Reap, an easy, friendly town.
