The Old Market is the best known market in Siem Reap, both to the locals and to tourists. It is a great landmark for visitors to Siem Reap due to its location, which has many restaurants, bars, cafes and shops nearby and in the surrounding area. You will find a large range of items in the Old Market including souvenirs, silks, clothes, gold jewellery, silver jewellery, homewares, electrical items, fresh produce, food stalls and lots more. Haggling or bargaining is normal in the markets of Cambodia, so you can expect to get a good discount on whatever price the vendor starts from. The Old Market is open from around 6:00am to 6:00pm, but it is very hot and humid during the hottest times of the day so it is best to visit it either early morning or a few hours before closing time. Getting to the Old Market is easy, as every tuk tuk and taxi driver knows where it is, so getting them to understand where you want to go is easy. If you are staying within walking distance, then just ask your reception for directions. The Old Market area is also a great place if you need money or need to exchange money, as there are plenty of banks, exchange bureaus and ATM machines.
