Why isn’t it 5 stars? I don’t know if it was just when I was visiting or it usually is this way. But a lot of the palace garden and grounds were closed for tourists. Looking at one of their maps and comparing it to the map we got when going in. About a quarter of the palace grounds was open for tourists to see. The rest was closed off. Good to note that when going here they were renovating some buildings. This may be affecting the rest of the area. But it was closed off far from the renovations. This made it less worth the $10, but there is still a lot to see and learn. I would still recommend it when you are here

    The Independence Monument in Phnom Penh is indeed a stunning and historically significant landmark. It stands as a symbol of Cambodia’s independence from French colonial rule. Its unique design and location make it a must-visit attraction for those interested in Cambodia’s history and architecture. It’s a place where you can appreciate both the architectural beauty and the historical importance of the monument.

    Independence monument in Phnom Penh was built in 1958 to memorialise Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953. Impressive. Statue of King Norodom Sihanouk is nearby.

    We were staying at a hotel across the street from the Independence Monument. We lucked out with great weather on a Friday evening, so we ventured out to explore. The monument is beautiful at night and completely open to walk through. The only difficulty is that the area in general is not very pedestrian friendly. Use caution when crossing roads – especially in this part of town. We entered via the west and enjoyed a stroll with locals as we went to the park that’s to the east. Go in the evening. The area is too congested with cars during the day time anyway.

    Was built in 1958 to memorialise Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953. It stands on a roundabout in the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the temple at Banteay Srei and other Khmer historical sites.  The Independence Monument was designed by the Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, who was “personally selected and instructed” by Prince Norodom Sihanouk on how it should look like, combining “the religious and the secular.” It stands 37 metres tall.
