Siem Reap is a significant tourist city in Cambodia due to its proximity to the world-famous temples of Angkor. The city has transformed itself into a vibrant cultural hub, offering a gateway to an ancient world. Siem Reap has colonial and Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter, and around the Old Market. From the city, visitors can explore the many temples of Angkor, including the iconic Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. In addition to the temples, Siem Reap offers cultural experiences such as Apsara dance performances, craft shops, and markets. The city's location on the edge of the Tonle Sap Lake means it's also the start of boat trips to floating villages.
