There is certainly not much to see / do while in Phnom Penh and this is considered one of the main attractions in town. Having stayed in Thailand for a month prior to coming to Cambodia, we have seen so many different temples and great buildings that we didn't the Royal palace that impressive. It's certainly nice to walk around... More

Beautiful gardens and buildings. Happily walked around for 2 hrs. Enjoyed a cold drink inside - not overpriced. Beware the Tuk Tuk drivers surrounding the palace telling you it is closed - they are lying - we had 3 different guys telling us it was closed so to go on a tour with them. We wanted to see for ourselves... More

He asked where I came from when I replies with the state in the US which is Massachusetts he immediately and excitedly said BOSTON!!!! to which i said yes!

Beautiful place- on a hot day an umbrella would be useful, and a bottle of water (available at various places on the compound).

It's a nice thing to see while in PP but definitely get a guide, otherwise you just look at some statues, gardens and historical things without a clue, like we did.

The Royal Palace provides a contrast to the poverty that you will witness on the streets of Phnom Penh. We paid $6.50 entrance fee (plus $12 for a guide for 3 people). We thought that this was a reasonable price, as the guide's stories gave meaning to what we were seeing. Worth a visit!

Very huge compound of the palace. Connected to silver pagoda. Plenty of beautiful scenery for photo taking. Be watchful and ask for the timing of entrance.

Not great but worth a quick visit for some pics. Most areas off limits though - and overpriced for what it is

We didn't take a tour guide and perhaps we should - there's almost nothing to explain what you're looking at, why it's important or how it's used. A collection of buildings, a pagoda, lots of buddha statues - it's not a rich country so don't expect glamorous surroundings but I came away not entirely sure what I'd been looking at.
