The killing fields and museum was well worth visiting for a truly historical educational experience

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

We only had time to visit for one day as we wanted to move onto Siem Reap. But we spent New years eve here and it was really fun outside the Royal Palace. The only reason I give an OK and not excellent is the air quality. Just like Vietnam shocking!
