Wat Phnom

Hill Temple

This hilltop pagoda marks the spot where the city was founded, and is always busy with pilgrims and fortune-tellers. The temple is notable more for its historic importance than physical structure, but the park is a pleasant green space and a popular gathering place for locals, and the murals inside the temple are impressive. A few monkeys keep quarters there as well and will help themselves to any drinks you leave unattended.
