Battambang is Cambodia’s second most populous city and a popular tourist destination due to the many nearby ancient temples, Buddhist shrines and the infamous bamboo railway. It is popular with tourists because of its blend of modern city, small-town friendliness and some well-preserved colonial architecture, which works together to give the town a unique charm.
