I first discovered Euro Park while browsing Tripadvisor. I came across a place described as a park with a European theme, and honestly, I was curious to see what it was actually like.

When I arrived, my first impression was wow! I was honestly surprised by how beautiful the park was. There were so many beautiful buildings and European-inspired details around the area, and I immediately started thinking about all the pictures I could take.

But there was another thing that made me even happier — it was free to enter! 😂 So, beautiful scenery, lots of photo spots, and no entrance fee? That was definitely a double win for me.

Euro Park covers around 3.11 hectares and features different European-inspired architectural styles, including Georgian, Victorian, and Tuscan designs. You can also find scaled-down replicas of famous European landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben, as well as Venetian-style canals.

It really felt like I was walking through a little European-themed world, with something interesting to discover around almost every corner.

The only thing I had to fight against was the weather. 😂 I visited in August, and it was very hot and humid. So if you’re planning to visit, don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and apply it regularly. Trust me, you’ll need it! ☀️

What Makes Euro Park Interesting?

What I found most interesting about Euro Park is that you can find so many different European landmarks and little European-inspired corners in one place. From the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben to Venetian-style canals, every area has its own atmosphere and, of course, its own photo opportunities.

If you enjoy taking pictures when you travel, I think you’ll have a lot of fun here. Almost every landmark gives you a different background, so you can walk around the park and keep discovering new spots to take photos.

And it’s not only the landmarks that are photogenic. The cafes and restaurants around the park are also beautifully designed, so even stopping for a drink or a meal can become part of the experience. ☕📸

Another thing I found interesting is that the park is an open space without an entrance gate, which means you can simply walk in and explore without paying an entrance fee. That’s definitely one of the reasons I was so happy when I first arrived! 😂

Of course, if you want to try some of the activities, such as paddle boats or rides around the canals, those come with an additional charge. So while exploring the park itself can be free, you may want to prepare a little extra budget if you want to try the activities.

📸 Bring Extra Outfits!

Here’s one thing I really wish I had thought about before visiting: bring different outfits! 😂

There are so many different landmarks and photo spots that you can easily make it look like you’ve visited several different places. If you’re someone who loves creating travel content or taking lots of pictures, bringing two or three different outfits would be a great idea.

Unfortunately, I didn’t think about that before I went. So… I ended up wearing the same outfit in front of all the different landmarks. 😭😂

Looking back at my photos, it definitely made me think, “Why didn’t I bring another outfit?!”

So learn from my mistake — if you’re planning a photo day at Euro Park, bring an extra outfit or two. You’ll thank yourself later!

Exploring the Different Photo Spots

📸 So Many Landmarks, So Little Time!

As soon as you arrive at Euro Park, you’ll notice the Grand Hall, a beautiful European-style building that immediately catches your attention. It looks so grand and elegant, so don’t make the mistake of walking past it without taking a few pictures!

But the Grand Hall is only the beginning.

As you explore further, you’ll find miniature versions of different famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Dutch windmills, Venetian-style canals, Big Ben, and the Sydney Opera House. Each landmark has its own design and character, which makes walking around the park feel like you’re visiting a few different places in one day.

And if you ask me which one is my favorite?

Everything! 😂

I honestly couldn’t choose just one. Every corner has its own character, and the combination of the European-style buildings, landmarks, and greenery makes almost every spot feel like a photo opportunity.

I visited at around 11 AM, and surprisingly, there weren’t too many people around. I even saw some visitors taking their graduation photos there, which makes sense because there are so many beautiful backgrounds to choose from.

☀️ Learn From My Camera Disaster!

Of course, I came prepared with my camera because I knew I was going to take A LOT of pictures and videos.

And I really did.

Maybe… a little too much. 😂

The weather was extremely hot, and after taking so many photos and videos, my camera overheated and stopped working! My iPhone wasn’t doing much better either. It got so hot that it started slowing down when I was trying to take pictures.

So please, don’t make the same mistake I did! 😂

If you’re visiting Euro Park on a hot day, especially around midday, make sure you’re prepared. Bring sunscreen, keep yourself hydrated, and give your camera or phone a break if it starts getting too hot.

Because trust me, you don’t want to find the perfect photo spot and then have your camera decide, “That’s enough for today.” 😭📸

Tips Before You Visit Euro Park

After my experience, I definitely have a few tips for anyone planning to visit Euro Park. And trust me, I learned some of these the hard way. 😂

📍 Location

Euro Park is located at:

National Road No. 1, 2 kilometers from Monivong Bridge, Phnom Penh 12357, Cambodia.

Since the park is an open space without an entrance gate, you can simply walk in and explore.

🌤️ Choose the Right Time

I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon. Euro Park is open from 8 AM to 8 PM, so you have plenty of time to choose a more comfortable time to explore.

I visited around 11 AM, and let’s just say… I was cooking myself like a medium-rare steak. 😂🥩

The heat can be intense, especially during the dry season, so if you don’t enjoy walking around under the hot sun, I would definitely avoid the middle of the day.

And of course, don’t forget your sunscreen! Apply it before you arrive and bring it with you so you can reapply during your visit. Trust me, your skin will thank you later. ☀️

👗 Bring Extra Outfits

If you love taking photos, bring a few different outfits!

There are so many different landmarks and backgrounds that you can make your pictures look like they were taken on different days and even in different places.

You can also upload them to social media at different times without everyone realizing you took all the pictures on the same day. 😉📸

I really wish I had done this because I ended up wearing the same outfit in front of every landmark. 😂

⏰ Give Yourself 1–2 Hours

I think one to two hours is enough to explore Euro Park, depending on how much time you spend taking pictures, videos, and enjoying the different areas.

I spent around two hours there, and honestly, it went by pretty quickly because I kept finding another spot I wanted to photograph.

📷 Take Care of Your Camera and Phone

If you have a camera, definitely bring it — there are so many things worth photographing.

But please learn from my mistake: let your camera and phone rest! 😂

I took so many photos and videos under the hot sun that my camera overheated and stopped working. My iPhone also became extremely hot and started slowing down.

So make sure your devices are fully charged before you go, and bring a power bank just in case. If your camera or phone starts getting too hot, give it a break and let it cool down before continuing.

☔ Check the Weather Before You Go

I also recommend checking the weather forecast and temperature before visiting.

During the wet season, rain can make walking around the open park less enjoyable. But during the dry season, like when I visited, the afternoon heat can be seriously intense.

So choose your timing wisely and prepare accordingly.

💡 What I Wish I Knew Before Visiting

Looking back, I wish I had known just how many landmarks and beautiful photo spots there werebefore I went.

If I had known, I would have prepared a few different outfits, brought my little electric fan, and probably planned my visit for a cooler time of day.

So basically: learn from my mistakes, prepare better than I did, and enjoy your photo day! 😂📸

Final Thoughts — Would I Recommend Euro Park?

For me, Euro Park was more than just a place to take pictures. I really enjoyed walking around, exploring the different landmarks, and discovering all the little corners of the park. Every area had something different to offer, which made the experience more fun than I expected.

And the fact that you can explore the park without an entrance fee makes it even better. If you’re visiting Cambodia and have some extra time in Phnom Penh, I think Euro Park is definitely worth adding to your itinerary, especially if you enjoy photography, beautiful architecture, or simply exploring somewhere a little different.

Just remember my lessons: bring sunscreen, stay hydrated, check the weather, bring an extra outfit, and please don’t let your camera become a medium-rare steak like mine did! 😂☀️📸
