Cambodia’s greatest treasure is Angkor Wat. As the largest religious complex in the world, Angkor Wat has a story everywhere you turn.
Interesting history
Do you know that Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century as a massive Hindu temple complex? However, by the end of the 12th century, the site had gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple. This change occurred as the religious landscape of the Khmer Empire shifted.
Sunrise Views
The temple is glorious at any time of the day, but to witness its real beauty, nothing beats a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat. Hotels around the area, such as FCC Angkor Siem Reap and the like, are located within easy reach of the temple. Don’t forget your camera!
Tickets and entry
Since Angkor Wat is such a huge complex, tickets range from one-day to three-day tickets, giving visitors enough time to explore the complex. You can decide if you’d like to finish viewing the temple complex in a day or take it slow. You can also purchase the tickets online, well in advance.
Attire when visiting
As Angkor Wat is a religious complex, it is imperative to dress decently. This means both men and women have to keep their shoulders and knees covered. Opt for breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes.
