Silver Pagoda

The Silver Pagoda is one of the highlights of Phnom Penh. It’s located within the Royal Palace grounds and, honestly, I found it even more impressive than the palace itself. The architecture is stunning, the grounds are peaceful, and everything is very well maintained. Most areas are open to visitors, although photography is limited in some parts, especially inside the buildings. Still, there are plenty of beautiful spots for photos. I visited on a weekend, and surprisingly, there was no wait at all. The ticket costs $10 for foreigners and includes access to both the Silver Pagoda and the Royal Palace. If you’re in Phnom Penh, this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss!

Part of the entrance ticket to Royal Palace. Very cool place to see lots of amazing pagodas and buildings. Go early to beat the crowds. They also have a model of Angkor Wat which is very cool

Its a great traditional building of Cambodia showing beautiful architecture right next to where the king lives (though he wasn’t in the country when we went) it is very hot though so watch out for that espically since there is a dress code and you might need to wear long clothes.

The Silver Pagoda is a must see in Phnom Penh, connected to the royal palace, and it is better than the royal palace itself. Everything inside is accessible although there are some photography restrictions. The place is mesmerising and well maintained. I would absolutely recommend everyone to visit the place. Tickets cost 10$ for foreigners which also includes the royal palace.

The Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh is a stunning temple with a floor of silver tiles and a dazzling emerald Buddha. Rich in history and culture, it’s a must-visit for those exploring Cambodia’s royal heritage and art.

The Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh is truly a must-see, especially for anyone who loves architecture as much as I do. This was my second favorite experience in the city, and it left a lasting impression. The pagoda’s design is both intricate and grand, showcasing traditional Khmer architecture with ornate carvings and delicate details that made me pause and take in every feature. The craftsmanship is astounding—each element feels like a testament to Cambodia's rich cultural heritage. We decided to visit on a Saturday morning, arriving around 9 a.m., hoping to beat the crowds. Despite our early start, the place was already bustling with visitors, all eager to take in the beauty of the pagoda and the surrounding Royal Palace compound. It’s clearly a popular destination, and for good reason! The energy from the crowd added to the experience, creating a shared sense of awe. The entrance fee to the Royal Palace, which includes access to the Silver Pagoda, is USD 10. Once inside the compound, the Silver Pagoda is just a short walk away, making it convenient to explore both sites in one visit. Inside, the emerald Buddha and the stunning silver floor tiles stand out as highlights. Though parts of the floor are protected to preserve them, the visible sections are enough to capture the luxury and historic significance of the place. For me, visiting the Silver Pagoda wasn’t just a sightseeing activity—it was an experience filled with admiration for the skill and devotion behind its creation. If you’re in Phnom Penh, don’t miss it!

We visited Silver Pagoda and Royal Palace together as RP ticket includes Silver Pagoda too. It was worth definitely visiting it. There were different Budha statues and whole floor was made out of silver. We also saw some treasures from the royal family as well here. Recommend it!

Calm and peaceful. Entry from 8 am - fee for foreigner is US$ 10 per person. Note there is a dress code for entry - no shorts / tank tops.
