Transportation to Phnom Penh City Center from Airport

Phnom Penh International Airport is located about 10 kilometers from Phnom Penh city center. The distance between the airport and the city center is short and therefore there are many vehicles that can provide transportation for passengers. You can reach Phnom Penh city center in 20-40 minutes with three wheeled motorcycles named Tuk tuk, normal motorbikes, private, shared or airport taxis, city buses and car rental options.

Tuk Tuk

Tuk Tuks, the most popular transportation vehicle in India, is a practical and fast means of transportation that is most frequently used by locals and foreigners in Cambodia. With these 3 wheeled vehicles, which can only be seated by 2 adults, you can quickly get to the city center without losing too much time in the traffic. It is really cheap to go to the city center by tuk tuk which you can get from Phnom Penh International Airport. Another advantage of using these vehicles is that you will be charged a fixed fee ($ 9), regardless of where you will go to in the city center. In some exceptional cases this figure can be as low as 6 and 7 dollars. The tuk tuks are not as comfortable and reliable as taxis and buses, but they certainly provide quick access.

Motorcycle

When you arrive at Phnom Penh International Airport, get out of the terminal and you will see motorcycles that will take you to the city center for a certain fee. The cost of reaching the city with these transportation means varies between 2 and 7 dollars depending on where you are going. Although the motorcycles that are attached to the airport do not ask a figure below 7 dollars, this fee can be reduced to 2 dollars if you get on normal motorcycles. Motorcycle taxis are also a preferred method of transportation, depending on the size of your baggage. After 30-35 minutes, you can reach Phnom Penh city center from the airport. Due to the fact that it is a little less comfortable but much cheaper, most of the tourists who come to Cambodia prefer this transportation method.
