Independence Monument, Phnom Penh

Proud to be here many times but never have time to review. After a nice walk, I found that it is a nice place to visit. It is clean and green with fresh air especially in the evening and morning. Let's come

We have only been here once in the evening. We only get to see it from across the street as it was closed off. There is a water fountain around the Independence Monument which changes colors. It was beautiful. I am not sure if you can actually get to walk around the Monument area as it is the center of a major traffic roundabout. The area around the Independence Monument is will lit, full of people walking around and just hanging out with friends and family.

From a historical standpoint this is an important piece of Cambodia's history, although once you get past that you aren't going to be spending very much time here. What I will say is that during the evening and night it's a very nice place to go for a jog or just walk with friends and family. The reason it has a lower score though is that it's not very accessible due to the busy intersections it is in the middle of, as well as the fact that a evening / night walk along Riverside is just as nice and way more accessible.

It was built in 1958, to memorise Cambodia‘s independence from France. An iconic landmark of Phnom Penh, Capital of Cambodia. I used to live nearby, there’s a King‘s father Park, just adjacent to the monument. A great place for jogging.

A landmark in the heart of Phnom Penh. Also a roundabout. Lighted up at night. Once you see this landmark, meaning you're entering the touristy area, as well as locals hang around.
