Things to do in Phnom Penh

What to expect in Phnom Penh

The things-to-do catalogue in Phnom Penh is led by Tours and then Cruises, giving you both guided sightseeing options and short water-based experiences to choose from. That spread means travellers can mix a fuller guided itinerary with cheaper cruise-style outings to fill gaps in a trip. Demand peaks in December and is quietest in June, so you may find the same activity harder to book in December and easier in June. Overall the city suits travellers who want flexible, short activities alongside a few more structured tours.

How to choose what to book here

The main choice is whether you want the widest range of options or the most affordable way in — Tours are the category with the widest range while Cruises are the most affordable. Tours offer both entry-level and upper-end prices (typically around SGD 17 at the lower end and SGD 33 at the upper end), so shopping around can change what you get; Cruises have a narrow price band, typically around SGD 10, so there is less variation to exploit. For filling gaps or low-cost add-ons pick Cruises; for variety and premium single-day experiences pick Tours, where what’s included varies most.

When travellers from Singapore book

Most travellers book at the last minute, with bookings typically made 1 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 6 days ahead. Plan on that one-day cushion for peak travel in December, when demand is higher and booking a bit earlier can help secure your preferred time.
