Current Travel Situation
Spain to Cambodia: What You Need to Know
Cambodia is famous for the Angkor temple complex (UNESCO), one of the world greatest archaeological sites. The country has recovered significantly from the Khmer Rouge era and now welcomes millions of tourists annually.
How to Get There
Cambodia is easily combined with Thailand (Siem Reap to Bangkok), Vietnam (Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City), and Laos (northeastern Cambodia). Bus and boat connections link major tourist destinations.
Money & Banking
Cambodia officially uses the riel (KHR) but US dollars are the de facto currency for tourism. Prices are quoted in USD. Small change may be given in riel. ATMs dispense USD. Cards accepted at major hotels.
Practical Tips
Angkor Wat and the greater Angkor complex near Siem Reap are the must-see highlights. Phnom Penh (capital), Sihanoukville (beach), Kampot, and the Mekong Delta islands are other major destinations. Cambodia uses the US dollar for most transactions.
