Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia, has several popular streets and areas known for their vibrant nightlife, dining, and entertainment options. While there isn't a single "Walking Street" like in some other cities, here are a few areas that are popular for walking, exploring, and enjoying the city's atmosphere:
1. **Sisowath Quay (Riverside)**
2. **Street 51 (Pasteur Street)**
- Known for its nightlife, Street 51 is home to many bars, clubs, and late-night venues. It's a hub for those looking to enjoy Phnom Penh's party scene.
3. **Bassac Lane**
- A trendy and hip area with small bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. It's a quieter, more intimate spot compared to the bustling Riverside, but it's perfect for those looking for a unique and cozy vibe.
4. **Russian Market (Phsar Toul Tom Poung) Area**
- While not a nightlife spot, the area around the Russian Market is great for walking and exploring during the day. You'll find local shops, street food, and a lively market atmosphere.
5. **Night Markets**
- Phnom Penh has several night markets, such as the Phnom Penh Night Market and the Sovanna Night Market, where you can walk around, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy local street food.
If you're looking for a specific "Walking Street" experience, the Riverside area (Sisowath Quay) is your best bet, as it offers a mix of dining, entertainment, and scenic views. Let me know if you'd like more details about any of these areas!
Phnom Penh has recently introduced a dedicated walking street along the riverfront, enhancing the city’s appeal to both locals and tourists. This pedestrian-friendly zone stretches from the Cambodia Post Office to the Royal Palace along Sisowath Quay. 
Key Features of the Walking Street:
• Operating Hours: Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. During these times, the designated area is closed to vehicular traffic, allowing pedestrians to explore freely. 
• Zones: The walking street is divided into three distinct zones, each offering a unique experience:
• Shopping Zone: Featuring a variety of shops selling local crafts, souvenirs, and more.
• Dining Zone: Home to numerous restaurants and food stalls offering both local and international cuisines.
• Entertainment Zone: Includes bars, pubs, and live entertainment venues to enhance the nightlife experience.
This initiative aims to boost the city’s nightlife and provide a safe, enjoyable space for evening leisure activities. The pilot phase of the walking street commenced on February 1, 2025. 
Visitors have praised the walking street for its vibrant atmosphere and the opportunity to experience Phnom Penh’s culture in a relaxed setting. The initiative has been well-received, with many appreciating the dedicated space for pedestrians away from the usual city traffic.
