Views & landmarks
Monivong Bridge
Overview
Monivong Bridge is a major roadway bridge spanning the Bassac River in southern Phnom Penh. It serves as a vital transport route connecting the capital with southern Cambodia and the road toward Vietnam. Travellers visit primarily to see open views of the river and to observe everyday road and water traffic in the city.
Getting There
The bridge is located south of central Phnom Penh. Reaching it from the city centre takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes by taxi or tuk-tuk, depending on traffic flow.
Time to Allow
Allow around 20 to 30 minutes to walk along the span, look out across the Bassac River, and take photos.
When to Visit
Early morning and late afternoon are the most practical times to visit to avoid direct midday sun. The crossing gets crowded and loud during peak commuter rush hours, so travellers looking for a calmer walk should avoid early morning and early evening traffic peaks.
