Phnom Penh is in almost every way the nerve center of Cambodia. Though perhaps not "The Paris of the East" pre 1970s, the city's French colonial buildings are beautiful, and its streetscapes make for a pleasant walk especially along Sisowath Quay down by the Tonle Sap River - in many respects the heartbeat of the city. In recent years, Phnom Penh has has tidied up, and is an increasingly popular spot in Southeast Asia for visitors en route to Angkor or the beaches of Sihanoukville, Cambodia's premier beach resort town.
