Getting Around in Phnom Penh

Practical travel guide for Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Getting Around in Phnom Penh

Arrival: Techo International Airport (KTI), which replaced Phnom Penh International Airport in September 2025. Taxi fares and journey times vary; check the fare before travelling.; negotiate before departing or use ride-sharing apps.

Getting Around:

  • Tuk-tuk: The iconic three-wheeled vehicle; negotiate fares beforehand (short trips are cheap)
  • Motorbike Taxi: Fastest but adventurous; drivers navigate congested streets efficiently
  • Ride-sharing Apps: Grab and PassApp offer metered fares with app security
  • Rental Bikes/Motorbikes: Available but requires navigation skills and Cambodian driving comfort
  • Bus: Local buses are cheap but crowded; limited route information available

Traffic Tips: Phnom Penh traffic is chaotic with minimal traffic laws enforcement. Stay alert as pedestrian, always use zebra crossings, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
