If you want to go into the palace , there's a dress-code, so make sure you're not wearing shorts or a tank-top.

I waited a really long time and never saw any Kings, Queens, Princesses, etc... I'm not really sure they're inside there.

nice place to explore, very similar to Bangkok royal palace . make sure to take smth to cover your shoulders and knees - otherwise will need to purchase t-shirt and pants at $3 each on the entrance.

Simple Discoveries

You can get a ticket for here & the silver pagoda for 25,000KHR. Spend a couple hours & take your time wandering through the complex. Opens at 2pm.

Ashley Dando

A well kept garden with many temples and buildings to wander around. Very hot in the sun and it gets busy.

Quentin Lafon

Nice place to visit. Don't miss the Silver Pagoda, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Royal Palace . A must see !

Ernesto Bioinspired ChemEng

The astonishing view of the buildings in a sunny day! Pictures look better than those of national geographic -even if you use your humble phone. http://flic.kr/p/qbjLxD

Make sure you wore something longer then you knee pants or dress . No sleeveless too.

Riczel Joy

Hello Royal Palace ! Just make sure you are not wearing short pants and sleeve less top. U might have the same thing happened to me, look!:-)

Justin Van Emmerik

Great photo opportunities bring a camera and relax in the grounds. Beggars outside are annoying and don't give them money donate it to an organization that gets them fed and off the streets.

Nam Nắn Nót

Show off the Khmer Ẻmpire history,but its not impress me much,except the Steel House (gift of French Emperor Napoleon III to Cambodia King)

Rielz Cheong

Best visit in the Morning to avoid the blazing sun in the afternoon and nicer photos. Only photos of the buildings are allowed. Nothing much thou.

Tâm Angel

Historic, magnificent palace . Look fancy but too much sun light! Guest only can access a few place shown in the map.

The astonishing view in a sunny day, under this condition Landscape pictures look better than those of national geographic! http://flic.kr/p/qbjLxD

Worth the visit and to get an english speaking guide to explain during the tour . Informative guide and fun....:-)

FireUnder Ash

Bare shoulders, shorts , mini skirts aren't allowed. A small shop at entrance sell shirt and trousers. Cover yourself if you don't want spend extra money or give up with visit. They are very strict.

FireUnder Ash

Consider that you can see the throne all only from windows without make any pics. And the rest of the buildings are close to public. Remain only a walk in the nice garden . Quite overpriced

Patrick Devery

Worth the small expense to get a guide. If they're old enough ask them about the war - fascinating stories

Angie Jenie

It was very hot at 9:30am. Bring a hat and wear sunscreen .

Grey

Architecture is beautiful. You can also be amaze on the number of birds found here.

Entrance fee is unreasonably high and you'll get to visit only small & limited part of the palace . I don't recommend unless you have nothing else to do and you have some extra money to waste.

Naim Husni

Go in the afternoon and stroll the way to see sunset . It is really good.

Ali B

Fantastic bargains to be had - my most favourite market in Phnom Penh.

Angel Dominguez

Come right at opening in morning or afternoon to avoid the swarms, although not really worth staying too long or the high admission fee.

Gabie Danali

It's not like Bangkok's palace ,the entrance is 6 dollars and the women's may wearing an t shirt with sleeve.

Torzin S

Beautiful place of Phnom Penh

Norman

Simply wonderful, I didn't regret paying the admission.

Natasha Dunn

Defiantly get a guide to show you through and explain it all to you. Makes it all more with while.

Mark

Without a doubt the highlight of Phnom Penh's tourist trail

Anna Rigo Allegri

It's amazing,really...but half of it's closed plus u can't take pics inside lots of places...damn it!!!

Prima

One of Phnom Penh's landmark . Iconic and worth to visit.

Sofy Cambodia

Beautiful view outside Royal Palace

Kai Ong

Do wear tops with sleeves and long bottoms. You can't get away with wearing a scarf over bare arms.

Sian Peachey

Currently closed for 3 months due to the Kings death! Although this isn't advertised anywhere and Tuk tuk drivers won't tell you :-) Silver Pagoda is open as normal

vitriana nurindah

if you're on a tight budget, better skip this place. it's worth the price for $3, but not that great to be on in the must visit place.

S P

Gorgeous! A must visit...

Kimberley C

Visit in the morning. I went at 2pm and got the worst headache afterwards cause of the intense heat!

Andrés Suárez

not too special but i guess you cant miss it

CL

Dress code implemented, be prepared to rent t-shirts or itchy long pants if you're not properly dressed .

Value for money http://flic.kr/p/qbjLxD

Pau

Beautiful gardens !

ᴡ Hamel

The Grand Palace in Bangkok is better. $6.25 US entrance for adults.

Wan Muhd Izzat

Very unique and so wonderful!

Kongle Li

so hottttttt

Mariko Abe

Too many tourists to enjoy, cause I couldn't see over their heads. Also if cost me $6.50, not $3. Perhaps tourist season price? Would definitely skip if tight on time or money.

The most powerful roof in the world ????

Phuc Nguyen

No photographs inside the citadel

Hubert Valois

Also beware, need to pay cash
