Siem Reap.

Siem Reap is home to the world famous heritage of the Angkor temples including  the  magnificent Angkor Wat.It is a vibrant city with manymodern hotels and old colonial buildings boasting awesome architecture. Much  of the town’s image, culture and traditions are conserved despite
the influx of tourists from all over the world.

There are restaurants of every culture and bars and cafes of nearly every fashion and size all about town. The Phsar Leu area is where one can find  great  bargains in jewellery and handicraft from precious stones to wonderful woodcarvings. There are also many shops ofering traditional massage and  reflexology  to  help  relieve those tired feet after a day’s tour of the temples.

Siem Reap Province is basically the cradle of Angkorean civilization and it  is the province that offers
plenty  of  opportunities to tourists enthralled by the Khmer culture.

The  ruins  of  Angkor,  located  amid  forests  and farmland, are now a UNESCO  World  Heritage Site.  There are over one thousand temples ranging   in   scale  from  nondescript  piles  of   brick rubble  scattered through  rice  fields  to the magnificent Angkor Wat which is said to be the  world’s largest  single  religious  monument. There  are  dozens of temple ruins in the Siem Reap area. Listed on this map are just a few of the  ‘must sees’.  However,  your  temple  itinerary  depends largely on 
how much time you have and of course your level of interest.
