Phnom Penh
Cambodia
“Riverside capital — rooftop bars, temples, growing café scene, dark history”
Cambodia's capital sits at the confluence of the Mekong, Bassac, and Tonle Sap rivers — a junction known as Chaktomuk. Founded in 1434, it replaced Angkor as the Khmer capital. The city bears scars of the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-79), with Tuol Sleng prison and the Killing Fields serving as powerful memorials. The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda anchor the riverfront.
