Siem Reap is the usual base for Angkor and related temple visits. Days are shaped by heat, ticket timing, and how intensely you pace the sites.
Temple days are physically demanding; build recovery evenings.
Stay
Where to stay
See how the main places to stay differ in location, atmosphere and getting around.
Old Market / Pub Street
The densest shop and evening cluster; temple days still start with a transfer to Angkor.
Wat Bo
East of the river, typically quieter than Pub Street and about a 10–20 minute walk from the Old Market.
