Located in the northwest of Cambodia, Battambang is the second largest city in the country.
It is well known for fine examples of colonial architecture, and is perfectly located along the Sangker River. Over the years, the city has developed an artistic quarter; many art galleries, shops, and funky bars will help you discover the modern, artistic side of Cambodia. In fact, the most famous circus of Cambodia, the Phare Ponleu Selpak, was started in Battambang and still has a school located there.
