What to do in Phnom Penh when it rains

Grey skies over Phnom Penh are a chance to go deep on its museums and galleries, poke around an indoor market, and find the cosiest cafรฉ in town.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums โ€” many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.

Art galleries

Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.

Historic sites

Explore the indoor historic sites and their covered galleries.

Covered markets

Browse the covered market โ€” street-food stalls, local makers and somewhere dry to graze for an hour.

Cafรฉs

Claim a window seat in a cosy cafรฉ and watch the rain instead of walking in it.

Indoor shopping

Hit the covered shopping streets and centres โ€” everything under one roof.
