The 7 Biggest Tourist Attraction in Phnom Penh

Also, I’m posting a photo below of the hours. I found it often difficult to get accurate open hours in Vietnam and am already experiencing that again in Cambodia. Google maps “claims” to have double checked the hours three weeks ago by phone, but has something different than at the Palace. Go early as it gets very hot quickly, and you’ll beat some of the tour groups.

It’s beautiful. I can understand that for people who have affection for the Royal family of Cambodia this is an important place to visit but to me it is more like a tourist trap. There are other very beautiful and much more quiet temples throughout the city you can visit for free or a small fee. $10 seems very pricey for an entrance ticket. Also covering your shoulders is insufficient, you need to wear a shirt or similar, otherwise your obliged to buy a T-shirt provided at the entrance. Elbows and knees don’t need to be covered but dress appropriately.
At the time we went we could see The Throne room, dancing hall and Silver Pagoda. Sadly enough we missed the dancing hall because they decided to close down 30minutes before actual closing time.
You’re not allowed to enter the Throne room, it’s beautiful but not particularly decorated in Khmer cultural style, it resembles more a European 18th century throne room.
No pictures from the inside because not allowed.
I would recommend to see the palace from outside the grounds and not bother with entering it.
