Riverfront, locally known as Sisowath Quay is famous among the tourist. The riverfront covers the area starting from Street 104 to the Royal Palace, with restaurants, cafes, shopping centers, and spa all located on this unique street. Riverfront is a few steps away from many comfortable hotels. There is no entrance fee at the riverfront park.

Enjoy the intersection of Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake from the park. Although the street is famous for its nightlife and views, one can visit it any time of the day. To enjoy the sunrise, reach the road in the early morning while seeing it at night for the fantastic view of the sea and glowing sites near it.
