Visiting the Temples of Angkor
Angkor Wat is an awe-inspiring place to visit. There are so many temple complexes to check out, that you'll need at least three days to explore. And the great thing is that kids will have no problem enjoying the sights as much as you will. They will spot the most amazing creatures and faces cut out in the walls of the complexes, while you admire the temples themselves.

Visit the beautiful Royal Palace in capital Phnom Penh and learn about the brutal Khmer Rouge era (1975-1979) by visiting the killing fields and the Tuol Sleng museum. And check out the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, Tonle Sap.

Cambodia is often overlooked as a family travel destination. Such a pity for a country that has so much to offer. You’ll leave Cambodia wanting more. The people are warm, the food is great and child friendly, the temples worth exploring and the (recent) history lessons harsh, but essential.
