Set on the banks of the mighty<\/p>\n<p>Mekong, a weekend spent here will no doubt bring with it a sequence of unique moments. Take advantage of the concert to learn more about this vibrant capital and what it has to offer with a cyclo tour showcasing the city\u2019s highlights and more. The performance will be held in Phnom Penh&#8217;s Olympic Stadium, once the most prized arenas in all of Southeast Asia. The distinctive structure is a telling reminder of the capital&#8217;s former cultural structure and a rare example of the work of famous Khmer architect, Vann Molyvan.<\/p>\n<p>This will be Cohen\u2019s first performance in the region. With a career spanning over 4 decades, the Canadian songsmith has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater depths as time goes on. This deal includes an overnight stay at the Raffles where a champagne brunch will be served poolside, the perfect way to reflect over a weekend that has bought a cultural icon to the stage of an equally compelling city.<\/p>\n<p>Combine the viewing of this historic concert with a visit to the charity restaurant, Romdeng, our 2-day Mekong Sessions: Phnom Penh deal affords travelers the opportunity to experience cultural and social insights with a sumptuous touch thrown in along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at more <a title=\"Cambodia tour\"
