It is the largest and undoubtedly the most breathtaking of the monuments of Angkor, and it is reputedly the largest religious structure in the world.
After lunch, you will visit the Angkor Thom complex to see the Terrace of Elephants, the Leper King and the Bayon. Explore the Bayon Temple, whose giant stone faces have become one of the most recognizable images connected to classic Khmer art and architecture. continue to Ta Phrom Temple, famous for its forest atmosphere and enormous fig trees, looks just as it did when the first European explorers arrived. It is also the location of many scenes filmed for the blockbuster movie Tomb Raider.
You will drive back to town for some time to explore the Old Market or shop for a simple memento of your stay in Cambodia.
Back at the hotel, there's time to freshen up before dinner with a traditional Apsara dance show.
