Transportation in Cambodia

# Getting Around Cambodia Cambodia offers several transportation options for travelers, with the main modes being buses, minivans, taxis, and tuk-tuks for intercity and local travel. Domestic flights connect major cities like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, while boats provide scenic routes along the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake during certain seasons. For first-time visitors, it's important to know that road conditions vary significantly—major routes between cities are generally well-maintained, while rural roads can be challenging. English-speaking drivers are common in tourist areas, and ride-hailing apps operate in larger cities for convenient local transport. When arriving at Cambodia's international airports (Phnom Penh and Siem Reap), you'll typically find official taxi services, ride-hailing apps, and pre-arranged hotel transfers. For current airport transfer prices and booking options, check the booking widgets on specific route pages, as rates vary by distance and service level. Many travelers find it helpful to have small US dollar bills on hand, as USD is widely accepted alongside the Cambodian Riel. **Pro tip:** Book intercity transportation in advance during peak season (November-March) and major holidays, as popular routes can fill up quickly. Use the search tools and booking widgets on this site to compare current options and secure your preferred departure times.
