Siem Reap is the starting point for a visit to the temples of Angkor and is located about five kilometers south of the temple area. The city is fully adapted to visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are hotels in every price range imaginable. On each street corner, moped taxis ($6-8 a day) and tuk-tuks ($8-12 a day) are waiting for customers. For smaller excursions you can also rent a bike (the small temple tour can be done well by bike).

The Old Market
The Old Market is the most famous market in the city. Here you will find mainly fruit, meat, vegetables, fish as well as clothing, souvenirs, craftsmanship, jewellery, accessories and also watches.
Pub Street in Siem Reap
There are many restaurants, especially around Pub Street. Here we ate and drank really delicious on both evenings… and really cheap.
On the way back to the hotel we observed a group of monkeys on the side of the road.
