Exploring Angkor Wat is a must for anyone visiting the area. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest religious monument in the world and showcases stunning architecture and intricate bas-reliefs. A sunrise visit can provide a serene atmosphere to appreciate its grandeur.

Another significant site within the complex is Angkor Thom, which features the famous Bayon Temple with its distinctive smiling stone faces. The surrounding area also includes the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, both of which offer insights into the Khmer Empire's history.

For a different experience, consider visiting the Cambodian Cultural Village, where you can learn about traditional Khmer culture through performances and exhibits. This can provide context to the historical sites you visit.

Additionally, Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, offers opportunities for boat tours. Visiting the floating villages can give you a glimpse into the daily lives of the local communities that rely on the lake for their livelihoods.

The vibrant night markets in Siem Reap present a chance to explore local handicrafts and sample Cambodian street food. The markets are lively and offer a variety of goods, from souvenirs to traditional garments.

You might also appreciate the Apsara dance performances, which are an integral part of Cambodian culture. Watching one of these performances can enrich your understanding of the country's artistic traditions.
