The things worth doing in Phnom Penh, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
National Museum of Cambodia
Terracotta pavilions holding the best Khmer sculpture outside the temples. Open daily 8am to 5pm, last tickets 4.30pm, $10 for adults.
Russian Market
Phsar Toul Tom Poung sells fabric, silverware and factory seconds under a low tin roof. Open from 6am and winding down by 4.30pm, so go early.
Central Market
Phsar Thmei is a 1937 art deco dome with four arms of watches, gems and food. Open daily 7am to 6pm; the wet and dried food end is the good one.
Wat Phnom
The hill temple that gave the city its name, open 7am to 6pm for $1. Small, and worth it mostly for the shrine traffic and the clock garden.
Koh Dach, Silk Island
A Mekong island of weaving households, reached by ferry about half an hour north of the city. Hire a bicycle at the landing and ride the loop.
