Why go
Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom anchor a temple-focused visit. Angkor National Museum explains Khmer art and beliefs, while War Museum Cambodia addresses a much later and difficult period. Psah Chas and Artisans Angkor bring the focus back to food and craft in town. These are different kinds of stops, so select a few rather than treating the set as one fixed route.
Useful to know
- Keep the Angkor temples as a separate outing from shorter town-centre stops.
- Use Angkor National Museum to add context before or after the temple sites.
