THE ANCIENT CAPITAL

Cambodia's capital, PHNOM PENH, sprawls west from the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. Despite initial impressions, the heart of Phnom Penh has a strong appeal. The French influence is evident in the colonial shop-houses lining the boulevards, with the occasional majestic monument or public building animating the cityscape. The Phnom Penhois are open and friendly, and the city itself is small enough to get to know quickly.
