Cambodia has a long and rich history of classical dance, shadow puppetry and circus, and it has also become tradition for visitors to Cambodia to attend at least one traditional performance, most often an ‘Apsara Dance Performance.’ Dozens of restaurants in Siem Reap host nightly performances, but there are only a few places in Phnom Penh offering regularly scheduled shows, and for that reason the shows that are available often offer something a bit unique. It can have a somewhat more authentic, less canned feeling than what you may find at some of the ‘buffet & dance mills’ in Siem Reap. See Traditional Performances page for more.
