In the afternoon, you will visit Angkor Thom, which was the world’s largest city in the 12th century.

After breakfast, we will travel to the Banteay Srei temple, dating back to the 10th century, which is regarded as the jewel in the crown of Classical Khmer Art. We will then continue to visit Banteay Samre, built in the third quarter of the 12th century. It consists of a central temple with four wings, preceded by a hall and accompanied by two libraries, with the southern example remarkably well-preserved. Two concentric walls enclose the ensemble.
