impressive Buddhist-style Independence Memorial, commemorating the departure of the French in 1953, dominates the centre of the city. Nearby is the very ugly Stalin-style Liberation Memorial, marking the Vietnamese capture of the city in 1979.

Wat Phnom is on a hill at the center of a small park near Sisowath Quay, on St. 94.

This is a restored ancient pagoda. It's ideal for a bike ride or extended walk - just go south and stay on the riverside. There is a range of low-priced souvenirs, and the pagoda is worth seeing for itself - as it is an ancient, Laotian style place, which has been beautifully restored, and now offers traditional accommodation - see the Sleep section. There is also...
