Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the essential first stop for many Cambodia journeys. Go early, leave space between temples, and pair the monuments with time in Siem Reap rather than treating the visit as a race through ruins.

Three things worth your time
See the first light
Arrive before sunrise for cooler air and the classic reflection, then stay as the galleries become easier to see.
Look beyond one temple
Combine Angkor Wat with a smaller circuit chosen around your time, energy, and interest in architecture or forest settings.
Travel with context
A licensed local guide can turn carvings, sightlines, and restoration details into a much richer visit.
