1. Explore Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument and the supreme masterpiece of Khmer architecture. Built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II, this 81-hectare complex took 37 years to complete. Walk through its grand outer enclosures and inner galleries to admire the soaring five central towers—iconically featured on the Cambodian national flag—and discover intricate sandstone bas-reliefs detailing epic legends.

2. Stop at the imposing South Gate of Angkor Thom to photograph the iconic causeway lined with 54 devas (guardian gods) and 54 asuras (demons) holding the sacred Naga serpent. Stand beneath the 23-meter-high stone tower carved with giant serene face sculptures welcoming visitors into the ancient royal city.

3. Discover Bayon Temple, the state temple built at the exact center of Angkor Thom by King Jayavarman VII. Famous for its 49 towers adorned with over 200 serene, smiling face carvings (representing Avalokiteshvara/Lokeshvara), Bayon also features extraordinary wall bas-reliefs illustrating 12th-century military battles and everyday Cambodian life.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap ligt aan de rivier naast Angkor, het uitgestrekte Khmer-tempelcomplex van Cambodja, met nachtmarkten, riviertochten en een rustig centrum.

Angkor Wat, vaak het grootste religieuze monument ter wereld genoemd, rijst op boven zijn slotgracht in een silhouet van torens als lotusknoppen dat bij zonsopgang adembenemend is. Vlakbij herbergt de ommuurde stad Angkor Thom de Bayon, met zijn meer dan tweehonderd serene stenen gezichten, het Terras van de Olifanten en de Baphuon, terwijl Ta Prohm in de greep zit van de wortels van gigantische kapokbomen en wurgvijgen.
