Once the seat of the Khmer Empire, the ruins of the sprawling ancient megacity of Angkor are one of the most prominent cultural heritage sites and popular tourist attractions in Cambodia. Home to over a thousand temples, including the legendary Angkor Wat, it offers an unforgettable experience to all who visit.
