One of our favorite places to stroll about here in Phnom Penh is the Royal University of Phnom Penh. Late afternoon gets a little bit crowded there with young people having picnics, some playing soccer, some playing badminton and some ‘not-so-young’ doing some brisk walking.
The Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) is located along the corner of Confederation de la Russie and St. 598. The area is big with lots of trees, ponds, walking paths. It’s also free to get in as long as its open. Though its not as big but it does reminds me a bit of UP Diliman grounds.
The buildings are also lovely, some built in the 1960′s so the architecture is pretty interesting blend of Khmer and French influences. My daughter loves going to the ponds in the Institute of Foreign Language, lots of fishes there and you can even feed it..
Whenever we go there I can’t resist taking photos of the buildings and I’ve collected some to share. 
Enjoy!

I’ve been to IFL siguro 3 times lang. You are right, it does remind you a bit of UPD. Sana ma-preserve nila yung mga French-Khmer style buildings at ma-maintain yung ponds… yan ang nagbibigay charm sa campus nila e.
