3 Days in Siem Reap, Cambodia (And What I’d Skip)
My Detailed 3 Day Itinerary For Siem Reap
Is 3 days in Siem Reap enough? Yes, but only if you’re strategic about it. I spent 9 days there, and while some of those were work days, I still saw more than most people manage in a fortnight, so I know exactly what you can and can’t fit into a shorter trip.
Here’s the pain point everyone has before they book. You picture Angkor Wat swallowing your entire trip, temple after temple until your legs give out and your camera roll looks the same photo repeated fifty times.
Or you wonder if you should skip the temples altogether and give Siem Reap more days for everything else. I’ll be honest, neither fear is fully justified. Angkor Wat is only one piece of what makes this place worth visiting, and three days is plenty if you plan the order properly.
I have to admit, the temples weren’t even my favourite part. That honour goes to Angkor Botanical Garden, where I ended up holding hands with a black gibbon. It sounds sweet written down. In the moment, it was slightly terrifying, with a wild animal gripping my fingers with more strength than I expected and eyes that felt a bit too human.
It’s the kind of moment you don’t plan for and can’t recreate anywhere else, and it’s exactly why I think people rush through Siem Reap without giving themselves room for the unexpected.
Whether you’re travelling solo or coming as a couple, this is what I wish someone had told me before I went.
Not another list of “hidden gems” or a rundown of every temple in existence, but a proper sense of what three days actually looks like on the ground, what’s worth your time, and what isn’t.

Day 1
Angkor National Museum
08.30 AM
The quickest way to enjoy Angkor Wat is to know what happened here in the museum, even just the basics.
When I visited, there was a school tour that was loud and chaotic, but they became interested in me, and we ended up smiling and laughing together, which was good fun.
What impressed me most was the eight themed galleries, each covering a different period of the Khmer Empire.
The gallery of 1,000 Buddhas was my favourite too.
As I said in my things to do in Siem Reap post, this is somewhere easily worth visiting before the temples of Angkor Wat. It gives you a deep dive into the history, helping you piece together different parts of the story while you are actually on the ground at Angkor Wat.
This is one of those places where you walk in, and your brain goes quiet for a minute.

Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm Shrine
10.05 AM
I expected it to be touristy, but I was genuinely impressed.
It is a 6-minute walk or a 3-minute tuk-tuk ride from the museum.
When I visited, locals were playing traditional instruments, and people were leaving small donations if they could. I liked it here.
I did not stay long, but it was worth a stop for the gardens and the Royal Residence nearby.
People mostly pass through here after listening to some live music, then explore Flying Fox Park or the Royal Independence Gardens.

Royal Independence Gardens
10.35 AM
It’s one of the few places where you can actually hear bats over traffic.
And I loved it for that.
This will be a quick walk-through, but the space had plenty of colourful flowers when I visited, along with interesting statues. It also helped me get a better feel for the city through its royal park.
The fountain with golden lions on each side looked impressive, and I was annoyed with myself for missing the King Master Statue and the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, which has a cool colonial-style design.
If you feel energetic, you could do a workout in the outdoor exercise area right beside the river, but I do not recommend it. The reason being that I would rather you enjoy the space in a calm, relaxed way, because this park is a solid reset button between busy sights.

Siem Reap Riverbank walk
11.35 AM
This was surprisingly one of the most peaceful things to do in Siem Reap in 3 days.
The city is not that big and can feel busier than it is at times.
I loved escaping along the riverbank, watching locals fishing and dancing beside the water. The Elephant Well and the Statue of Magawa are two fun spots to discover.
Walking across the Art Market bridges lets you explore both sides. Try to make time for a riverbank stroll in Siem Reap, especially after eating at the night market or visiting the Old Market.
I didn’t think a river could have a personality until I met this one.
- Cost: Free
- Opening Hours: 24 Hours
- Suggested Duration: 1 Hour
- Address: Start from 9V33+2P4 ស្ពានឈើ, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia
Wat Preah Prom Rath
12.30 PM
The riverbank walk brings you out right by Wat Preah Prom Rath.
It’s much quieter than you’d expect for somewhere so photographed.
I fell instantly in love with the horse statues, the red and gold boat design, and the depiction of birds eating a man’s guts. It’s gruesome, maybe, but I still couldn’t look away, if I’m honest.
The garden is impressive, with green grass and red and purple flowers. It smells fresh and bright when the sun is high in the sky.
It even has a reclining Buddha statue and a large grey prang, which is about 5 metres tall.

Old Market
01.05 PM
From Wat Preah Prom Rath, it’s a two-minute walk to Old Market.
Haggling here is not really about the money. It is a bit of theatre, and I loved it.
I had a fun experience with a lovely Muslim lady when I was buying a backpack. We were chatting with very little English, and I had even less Khmer, but somehow it worked.
There were very few people around when I visited around lunchtime, but you can still pick up anything you need. For a more lively market vibe, go later in the afternoon, but I think it is best this way, from my experience.
You can pick up anything from food, fridge magnets, bags, clothes, accessories, keyrings, silverware, wood, and stone carvings. The market is colourful and lots of fun walking through, even if just to window shop.
It’s the kind of place that makes a supermarket back home feel a bit tragic.

The morning and early afternoon can be busy. Before the night market starts later in the evening, head back to the hotel for a nap. If you want to keep exploring, get a massage and stay out of the hottest part of the day.
Siem Reap Nightly Street Food Market
06.00 PM
It’s cheap, it’s messy, and it’s one of the best places I ate in Siem Reap.
Imagine sitting on a plastic stool, squeezed beside the roundabout with the fountain dragons, traffic blaring, people laughing, and a waiter bringing you the tastiest laap you can find for less than a couple of dollars.
That is exactly what I found at Siem Reap Nightly Street Food Market. You might need to wander along the river to find an empty seat in high season, but even if you have to wait, it is worth it.
I remember eating a curry that cost almost nothing, chatting with a group of strangers, and leaving feeling ridiculously satisfied. I thought, why bother with overpriced restaurants when street food is this good?
I’ve genuinely thought about this meal more than some of the landmarks I saw in Siem Reap.

Day 2
Angkor Wat
05.00 AM
I went for sunrise expecting a nice view, and I got something closer to a religious experience, minus the religion.
I’ll be honest, the real reason you’ll visit Siem Reap is Angkor Wat. The size, history, and design make it the best thing to do here.
Take an early morning tuk-tuk, just under 7 km in the dark, and arrive for sunrise. When I visited, people packed in to watch the sun come up behind Angkor Wat. I went in May and June and expected worse crowds, but it was manageable. It was a cloudy morning, yet the light still cut through the sky, and it felt special.
I got to the reflection pond just in front of the southern library, and it was a great place to watch the sunrise. The earlier you get there, the better your chances of getting to the front.
Once sunrise is over, you can explore the grounds. The Terrace of Honour and the north and southern libraries were brilliant, and I recommend getting a professional photo taken. There will be plenty of people waiting on the path to the temple who can take your photo.
Bring an extra light layer for the early start, but you will not need it for long because it gets very warm and humid as the day goes on.
This place is easily worth waking up before 04.00 AM.

Bayon Temple
07.30 AM
About 3 kilometres from Angkor Wat is Bayon Temple.
This is the temple with all the heads carved into the stone.
When I visited, I picked up a tour guide outside for a small fee of 20,200 KHR ($5.00/€4.34/£3.71), and he had good English, but it did not last long – only about 30 minutes.
Still worth it for that price.
It is a much smaller complex than Angkor Wat. There is a public toilet right beside the temple if you need to freshen up. I visited later, around 11.00 AM, and it was fairly quiet. If you go earlier, there should be even fewer people.
I wish I had gone around 08.00 AM.
My guide took a photo of me with my hands together, my face against one of the carvings, with dozens of metres of stonework behind me. I think it made for a great shot.
This was one of the most impressive parts of the Angkor complex, in my opinion.

Ta Prohm
09.30 AM
The detail up close at Ta Prohm completely changes how you see it from a distance.
Take a 4.5 km trip east, and you’ll find this temple.
The Tomb Raider temple became famous thanks to Angelina Jolie. Seeing it in real life, with the trees swallowing the ruins, felt crazy and more beautiful than expected.
The silk cotton tree is what most people come here to photograph. When I first saw it, I thought it looked like an octopus, frozen mid-squeeze as it wrapped the temple. The roots bulge like they are strangling the stone.
Lots of people stop here for photos, and you probably should too.
Walking through the grounds, with the heat, humidity, and animals making noise in the background, it felt wild, thrilling, and like I was part of a movie.
This temple was far better than I expected, and I think you should include it.
I visited in the late afternoon but wished I had gone early in the morning so there were fewer people around. Watch your step, as it is easy to trip over roots, fallen rocks, or cockroaches.
Ta Prohm was one of the most fascinating temples for me.

Angkor Botanical Garden
11.30 AM
I’ll be honest, I nearly skipped the botanical gardens, and that would have been a mistake.
Its green, red, and blue colours catch your attention and make you stay longer than you expect to.
My favourite thing was seeing the animals. The 14-hectare site has between 200 and 500 plant species, with different zones such as a medicinal and spice garden, a flower garden, a palm garden, a Khmer inspirational garden, and a forest garden.
I found turtles, peacocks, monkeys, chickens, and even ostriches, and feeding them was great fun. I even held hands with a wild black gibbon before being released back into the wild.
It was scary but exhilarating, especially as I had never been that close to a monkey before.
I visited around 11.30 AM, and there was only a handful of others there at that time, so it will work great if you want to avoid larger groups.
If you want one calm, genuinely pretty hour or so in the city, this is it.

That’s Day 2 done, and it’s still only early afternoon.
Four temples, a 04.00 AM start, and hours of walking in that heat is more tiring than it sounds on paper, so don’t feel like you’re wasting the day by stopping here. Head back to the hotel, get in the pool, and let your legs recover.
Day 3 doesn’t need an early start either, so there’s no rush to fill this afternoon with anything else.
Day 3
Banteay Srei
10.00 AM
I sat on the steps longer than I meant to, watching people come and go.
Get your tuk-tuk driver to take you to the temple.
The pink sandstone is carved so deeply in places that it almost looks like wood from a distance. My personal favourite detail was the dvarapalas, the guardians on both sides of the doorways. Their faces looked so real to me.
The story goes that a Brahman tutor to the royal family built it. Something I learnt later, after leaving Cambodia, is that in 1923 a young André Malraux, who later became France’s Minister of Cultural Affairs, was arrested in Phnom Penh and convicted for stealing carved stones from this exact temple. An awful look for the French.
When I walked around this temple, there were only four other people, so it was a great way to see it without bumping elbows with anyone.
I also spent time reading the displays under the wooden roof beside the temple at Banteay Srei Interpretation Centre.
They explain Brahmanism with text and images, and they made the visit far easier to understand.
Banteay Srei is worth your time, and it is really the kind of place that makes you lower your voice without being told to.

Baphuon
12.10 PM
About 30 kilometres from Banteay Srei, you’ll head back towards Angkor Wat.
This place impressed me, even though it felt far smaller than Angkor Wat.
The view from the top is great, but it is tough on the legs, especially after a full day walking around the complex. There were so many abandoned stones that must once have been part of a thriving community. Seeing them scattered on the ground made me think, wow, this place is old.
The 200-metre walkway up to the temple also made it feel like this place was important in the past.
Apart from the temple, I thought the Reclining Buddha at Baphuon Temple was brilliant, and it is worth going around the back to see.

Terrace Of The Elephants
12.45 PM
The Terrace of the Elephants is one of the most popular stops in Angkor Thom.
It is an elevated platform built in the 12th century by Jayavarman VII on the west side of Angkor Thom’s central square.
It was used for viewing parades and public ceremonies. The front wall is lined with large, life-size elephant carvings, which is where the name comes from, along with garudas and lions.
I was fascinated to see the five-headed horse, which links up with the next place on this itinerary, the Terrace of the Leper King.
- Cost: Included in Angkor Pass
- Opening Hours: 07.30 AM – 05.30 PM

Terrace Of The Leper King
01.05 PM
It’s a short walk from the Terrace of the Elephants to the Terrace of the Leper King.
It is smaller than the previous site, but more intriguing.
At the top is a statue that gave the terrace its name. Some interpretations suggest it represents a king with leprosy, while others argue it is more likely Yama, the god of death.
The sandstone structure today is not the original, as the authentic statue was found in the Phnom Penh museum.

Day 3 is done. You can head back before Pub Street for rest and relaxation in the shade, grab lunch and refuel, or sleep to get ready for a night out.
Pub Street
04.00 PM for a calm experience, 09.00 PM for a party
12.5 kilometres back to Siem Reap by tuk-tuk, then it’s time for whatever you feel like.
Pub Street is great for party lovers and, surprisingly, people who just want a meal.
It depends on when you visit. Day and night are completely different. Loud music, partying, and dancing are all on the menu at night, with plenty of bars and clubs. Temple Sport Bar is where I ate and had a smoothie, which was great, but it was dead during the day.
When I came back at night, the street was chaos, with drunk people looking for mischief. You could spend anywhere from an hour to all night here if you are in the mood for dancing and meeting people.
It reminded me of Khao San Road, but about 10 times less crazy.

- Opening Hours: 24 Hours
- Suggested Duration: 1-2 Hours
- Address: Street 08, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia
Angkor Wat Tickets
You can get your tickets to Angkor Wat at the ticket office between Siem Reap and the Angkor Wat temple complex.
Our tuk-tuk driver brought us there early in the morning to pick them up.
I paid at the office, and you can choose a one-day, three-day, or seven-day ticket. In high season, book online if you want to be sure. Crowds can be intense, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
Alternatively, to guarantee your tickets well in advance, you can book them online before you go.
How Many Days Do You Need In Siem Reap?
You can spend 3 to 6 days in Siem Reap for a full trip.
In that time, you can see Angkor Wat in depth and visit the temples, markets, Pub Street, and museums that Siem Reap offers at a relaxed pace.
There are a few places I wish I had visited during my time in Siem Reap, like the Landmine Museum and Tonlé Sap floating village, but because I was working online some days, I did not have time to explore them.

When To Visit
You should visit Siem Reap in the dry season, which runs from November to April.
During this time, you’ll have nice sunny days, with cooler temperatures in December, January, and February.
I actually visited at the end of May and early June, and to be honest, there was very little rain. It was hot and sticky, but it made the adventure more memorable.
It was a little less comfortable, but I wouldn’t have changed a thing, especially with fewer crowds compared with the start and end of the year.
| Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | 31°C (88°F) | 31°C (87°F) | 33°C (91°F) | 32°C (90°F) | 37°C (99°F) | 36°C (97°F) |

| Sunshine | Rising | ~9 hrs/day | ~9 hrs/day | ~9 hrs/day | High | High |
Where To Stay
Stay in the centre of Siem Reap for nightlife access and pretty much all the major sites.
The good news is it is not big, so you can walk or take tuk-tuks around the city easily.
Journeys are short and affordable, ranging from 20,200 KHR ($5.00/€4.34/£3.71) per trip. When I visited, I stayed at Blossoming Romduol Boutique and, bizarrely, I paid 69,670 KHR ($16.72/€14.67/£12.58) per night. It felt too good to be true, but it was a fantastic place to stay.
A large pool with a basketball hoop, friendly staff, and a cool glass restaurant were all included.
We could walk to Pub Street in ten minutes and reach Angkor Museum in 30 minutes, which meant we could sleep in and still see almost all of the city. Other hotels in Siem Reap that caught my eye include:
Amber Angkor Villa Hotel & Spa
Getting To Siem Reap
You can get to Siem Reap a number of ways.
Plane
You can fly into Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI).
However, there are no direct flights from the US or UK at the moment, so you will likely need a stopover in Dubai or the UAE, southern Vietnam, Bangkok, or Singapore. I came over the land border, and it was an unpleasant experience, so I recommend flying in when you can to avoid being asked for a bribe.
It’s 47 kilometres from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI), and you can take a shared minivan, a bus, or a private taxi to the city centre.
Bus
I took a minivan from Koh Rong Samloem to Siem Reap, which included a ferry and took around 12-14 hours.
You can also easily go by bus or minivan from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, or from Battambang or Kampot (sleeper bus). A minivan is a great option here. Affordable and generally reliable. I never had an issue in Cambodia. Private taxis are always more comfortable and easier, as they take you door to door.
Visa
You will likely need to obtain a visa to enter Cambodia.
You can do this at the point of entry, or you can do it online. That’s a physical visa, and it costs 30,150 KHR ($30.00/€26.07/£22.29). You must have the cash in hand with you.
After a bad experience crossing into Cambodia from Vietnam on land, I recommend going with the online eVisa. It costs $36.00 (145,600 KHR/€31.28/£26.74), and you need to complete the e-Arrival Card application, which is free.
Do remember that not all land ports accept the eVisa. All three international airports, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap Angkor International, and Sihanoukville, accept the e-visa without issue.
Things To Know Before You Go
Currency
Cambodia’s currency is the riel, but USD is widely accepted.
Make sure your notes are in good condition. I’ve had cash rejected because of small tears or writing. If an ATM gives you damaged notes, go into the bank, as they may not be accepted elsewhere. Carry a few Cambodian riel as a backup, and keep a note as a souvenir if you like.
ATM
There were loads of ATMs during my time in Siem Reap.
I recommend withdrawing larger amounts to reduce ATM fees. I found Cambodia’s withdrawal fees cheaper than Thailand’s. ABA Bank allows higher limits and charges around a $4 fee per withdrawal. I’d recommend taking out about 300 to 400 USD if you’re staying for a few days.
Basic Khmer Phrases
Below are some useful phrases in Khmer that will go a long way, help people warm to you, and make travel in Cambodia easier.
- Hello (Suosdei, soo-a-sdaigh)
- Thank you (Arkun, ar-koon)
- Yes, said by men (Baat, baat), said by women (Chaa, chaa)
- No (Ot te, oht-teh)
- Please (Suom, soo-om)
- Sorry, excuse me (Suom Toh, soo-om toh)
- How much? (Tlai punman, tlai pohn-mahn)
- Too expensive (Tlai peik, tlai payk)
- Delicious (Chgnanh, chnyanh)
- Where is…? (Nowae, noh-wae)
- Toilet (Bantop teuk, ban-tup teuk)
- I don’t understand (Knhom min yoo l te, k-nyom min yool teh)
- Goodbye (Lea heuy, lee-a hao-y)
Safety
Don’t Go Abroad Without Comprehensive Travel Insurance.
I Have Used And Trust Safety Wing. You can read about why I think they are so great. When visiting the temples, wear a long-sleeved top to protect against mosquitoes and use DEET repellent of at least 50%. That is a game changer for safety. You do not want to catch a mosquito-borne illness when you are exploring Siem Reap.
Tipping
You will not be expected to tip in Cambodia.
Tipping is not really a thing here, so do not worry about it. Keep some cash for street food, tuk-tuk rides, drinks, or whatever you need. If your guide is great and you want to leave a little extra, go for it, but it is completely up to you.
Conclusion
In my opinion, 3 days in Siem Reap is a decent amount of time to see the main attractions and visit Angkor Wat and other temples as a couple or solo traveller.
If you want to explore Angkor Wat and Siem Reap more deeply, I would recommend 5 to 7 days. Choose wisely when planning your time at Angkor Wat. A 1-day ticket is fine, but with 3 days you can see most of the temples and really learn why this place is so significant.
I loved Siem Reap more than I expected. The museums, the botanical garden, the food, and of course the Angkor Wat complex left me with a real affection for the country and its people.

FAQs
Is 3 Days In Siem Reap Too Much?
Three days in Siem Reap is a good amount of time to see the main highlights and spend a full day at Angkor Wat. Just do not assume it is only about the temples. Markets, botanical gardens, museums, Pub Street, and even a hangover can quickly eat into a three-day itinerary, so plan accordingly, and you will have a great time.
Which Is Better, Siem Reap Or Phnom Penh?
Both are worth visiting. Choose Siem Reap for a more relaxed vibe and, of course, the temples. Pick Phnom Penh for a livelier city with great restaurants and the chance to learn about Cambodia’s darker history at the S21 Prison and the Killing Fields. Siem Reap feels more tourist-friendly, with evening walks by the river, street food, and plenty of places to unwind.
Is Siem Reap Expensive For Tourists?
Siem Reap is not overly expensive. Compared with parts of Southeast Asia, it can feel pricier than Thailand and Vietnam, but it is closer to Indonesia, like Bali. Expect to pay around $5 for a curry, and accommodation can still be very affordable.
