Most people know Siem Reap from visiting the famous temples of Angkor Wat. Siem Reap is the closest town to the temples so everybody who wants to visit these has to stay in Siem Reap. Besides Angor being the main attraction here, Siem Reap is a nice little town in its own. Of course it has profited a lot from the proximity to the temples. As a traveler you find cheap but also luxurious hotels here. Also, a lot of restaurants, bars and nightclubs have popped up in the city to cater to the people from all around the world who come here every month.

Visiting the Angkor Wat temples takes some time. You definitely should allow several days to visit these monuments.
