AKP Phnom Penh, July 04, 2025 --

Siem Reap, home to Cambodia’s iconic Angkor temples, has been named one of the Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best Destinations in 2025 by Tripadvisor, the world-renowned travel platform.

The city earned the 14th spot among the Top 25 global destinations, recognised for its cultural richness and historical wonders.

“When the morning light washes over the overgrown temples and ruins of Angkor Wat, a simple Siem Reap sunrise becomes a profound event. The ancient structures are contained within one of the largest religious complexes in the world. The complex and the 12th century Angkor Thom royal city are considered the main reasons to visit Siem Reap. Get a lesson in national history at the Cambodian Cultural Village, and a lesson in bargaining at the Angkor Night Market, a bonanza of shopping stalls, food vendors, and bars,” Tripadvior commented.

London of the United Kingdom topped the global list, followed by Bali of Indonesia, and Dubai of the United Arab Emirates.

In Asia, Siem Reap occupies the 5th spot, and Phnom Penh, the heart of Cambodia, came in 18th on the same list.

According to Tripadvisor’s website, the Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1 percent achieve this milestone.
