Battambang

is Cambodia's second most populous city, and a popular tourist destination due to the many nearby places of interest. It is also the capital city of the province with the same name.Buses and share taxis run to many destinations, including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap (via Sisophon), and the Thai border at Poipet/Aranyaprathet (also via Sisophon) and Pailin. The Phnom Penh - Battambang -

Sisophon road is sealed and well maintained, and the bridges are not prone to collapse (unlike their counterparts on the unsealed roads). Travelling by car, it takes around four hours to get to Phnom Penh, and just under an hour to get to Sisophon. Buses take a little longer.The infamous Poipet - Sisophon - Siem Reap road has finally been sealed. Getting from Sisophon to Poipet or

Siem Reap by car is just under an hour, and about double that by bus.The Battambang to Pailin road is terrible, unsealed, dusty, and full of potholes. Now under reconstruction though and Paramount Bus Company has started a service from Battambang.
