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.

Sosoro Museum
Opened 2019, this is a modern museum about money. 2,000 years of Cambodia’s monetary history through display cases and panels enhanced by multimedia presentations, and interactive exhibits. Even if you are not generally interested in economics, the museum tells the story of the Cambodian economy in an engrossing enough way that it's not to be missed.

Night Market
Good for local food with many food stalls. Sells clothes as well but you need to haggle. Usually some live entertainment, but is primarily for the locals. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere; eat barefoot sitting on mats on the ground.
US$2-4 for a decent dinner

Aussie XL
About the only thing Aussie about this place is the owner. Foster's has, in keeping with Aussie trends, been banished from the place. But the food is very good and the wood-fired oven pizza matches anything found in Italy.
