We enjoyed our morning visit to this lovely temple. Climb the steps up to the temple and enjoy the various statues and carvings. Conveniently located. Good place to spend around an hour. Entrance charge of $1 for foreigners.

A popular tourist stop when in Phnom Penh. $1 entry for tourists with an easy drop-off/pickup area for tuktuk. It is a Buddhist temple on the only small hill in the city. The shrine contains a large bronze seated Buddha surrounded by statues and carvings. The walls and ceiling are decorated with murals of Buddha's earlier reincarnations before his attainment of Enlightenment. It can be a peaceful and calming retreat in a somewhat busy and noisy city. You probably won't need more than 1 hour to see it all, but hey, you paid a dollar, so there is no need to rush.

this place is popular with the locals. take the time to climb the stairs to pagoda and visit the clock garden after that, take a stroll to the central post office, where you will also see many ATMs, and the surrounding streets to observe the french colonial buildings. the night markets will begin in full swing after sunset entry fees to wat phnom for foreigners is 1 usd or 4000 KHR

Must see site in Phnom Penh! The history is very interesting and the pagoda at the top is small but beautiful. It is a pretty easy walk up to the top. This is one of the most pleasant places to walk around or sit outside in Phnom Penh because of the ample shade. There is also a really great souvenir shop and small cafe. They have a lot of different souvenir type items and you do not have to worry about bargaining or being pulled in different directions by vendors trying to get your attention. It costs $1 for foreigners to enter the grounds, but it is well worth it. Bring cash!

You need to walk up about 30 stairs to this lovely Pagoda. The main part is similar to other pagodas with an offering area and many Buddha statues. At the rear is an offering to the local woman who is said to have originally found four Buddhas in the river and brought them to the hill. On a level down was a Chinese Buddhist area where they were giving bacon and eggs as a food offering. We then walked down and around the park area.

The temple itself is in the style of a Stupa and takes a climb up quite a few stairs to get there. I found the surrounding park area to be of more interest as it was lovely to take a stroll around here away from the manic streets and bustle of the city. I hadn't seen a floral clock design for ages until I came here! The huge rabbit was slightly creepy but I assume it has been replaced now that we are in a different Chinese year. Beware the swooping hornbills - I hadn't realised they were such big birds until one came right at me!!!

I arrived early (8.30am) and even though Google Maps makes it looks there are a couple of entrances, there was only one near the cafe and Arts Centre. I ended up climbing over a fence to get out. The temple is nothing special, but it is a gentle climb and at that time of the morning you forget the noise of Phnom Penh. The Giant Clock is an oddity. Because of its angle it is hard to use it as a time piece.

Great Place to visit in Phnom Penh . Must visit place as it is very near to the city center Doun Penh. it is located at a height and the place has a bit of stairs which needs to be climbed to reach the temple. it is very well maintained and there are also a few souvenir shops and refreshments available to buy.

Been here several times, find it very peaceful just to be there. Some shady areas but best time is in the cooler hours of the morning. An interesting story about this hill in an otherwise flat area. Mainly for local people who come to worship here but very appealing to tourist as well. Foreign people pay entrance fee of usd$1 to help upkeep the Wat. Had to ask several times for my receipt/ticket. Strangely the ticket booth staff were trying to avoid giving me one and tried to wave me through after taking my money. The ticket is handy if you leave the area through the small back gate to visit Sanderson Park across the road where you will see a very interesting sculpture. You can return to the Wat again through the back gate and if challenged, you simply show the ticket.

Wat Phnom Penh is serene and historic site that offers a peaceful break from the city's hustle and bustle. The temple is beautiful, with intricate details and a lovely surrounding park. It is a great place to learn about the city's origins and enjoy a bit of tranquility.
