Research 6 classified outdoor destinations within weekend reach of Phnom Penh, grouped across 4 kinds of place and ordered by measured straight-line distance from the city centre. Distances only — no travel times, schedules, or rankings.

Distances are great-circle kilometres between two published coordinates — this page does not publish travel times, transport schedules, opening hours, ticket prices, or rankings. Confirm access, facilities, and seasonal conditions with an official source before travelling.
