Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Phnom Penh and head to the Royal Palace, home to the Cambodian royal family. Admire the beautiful royal gardens, landscaped with tropical plants and studded with gleaming spires. See the Throne Hall where the royal receptions are held and the Cambodian king's coronation took place.

Visit the Silver Pagoda, named after the 5000 silver tiles covering the floor, each weighing 1kg. Inside are some of the country's most cherished treasures, including a life-size gold Buddha studded with 9584 diamonds, the largest weighing 25 carats.

Next, visit Wat Phnom Temple, founded by Daun Penh, a wealthy widow who in 1372, retrieved from a river a log with five Buddha statues in it and ordered to elevate a piece of her property on which to build a temple to house the statues.

Later on, Grandma Penh and the villagers converted to build a temple on the top of the mountain and brought the four Buddha statues to the temple. While a standing statue of the goddess was placed in a shrine located on the eastern of the hill. Eventually, this became a sacred site and sanctuary where people would make blessings and pray.

After that, visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a center for interrogation, torture, and death. Today it is a museum of torture and serves to remind visitors of the atrocities that came to pass in Cambodia.

17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale. At the end, head to the Killing Fields, where prisoners from Tuol Sleng followed this same route to their fate.

An old Chinese cemetery, Choeng Ek was turned into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8985 people were exhumed from mass graves and are kept in a memorial stupa here. After your visit, return to your hotel in Phnom Penh.
