Things to do in  Battambang

Far from a bustling metropolis, Cambodia’s third-largest city is one of the most laid-back places in Cambodia, boasting colorful colonial architecture, friendly cafes spilling onto the streets, and one of the best art scenes in the country. It isn’t all beautiful buildings and bakeries, though—some of the best things to do in Battambang are outside the city, like visiting historic temples, the funky Bamboo Train, and rice paddies as far as the eye can see.
