A comfortable pace for your first time in Phnom Penh: arrival at the banks of the Mekong, heritage discovery with the Heritage Tour and a riverside sunset, followed by a day of museums & memory, and finally artisan markets before a spa visit — all without sacrificing the pleasure of dining.
Always check the official price list at the entrance (prices may vary): generally, expect to pay the equivalent of a few dollars for audio guides and a separate entry fee for each site, plus 15–25 USD for a round-trip tuk-tuk to Choeung Ek with waiting time, or use Grab to compare current prices.
Yes, but at the cost of memory: sacrifice either the shopping part on Day 3 or some of the secondary museums. Don't skimp on the time spent at S-21 — the visit deserves calm.
Most Europeans use the official e-visa (30 USD + fees) or the visa on arrival. See our visa guide.
