Colombo

Visit Colombo, and immerse yourself in this frenetic metropolis of colour, craziness and commotion. As Sri Lanka’s largest city, Colombo has much to offer the keen traveller, whether it is a noisy escapade through the bustling city scene, or an awe inspiring tour of centuries-old Buddhist and Hindu temples.

North of the city centre you’ll find the Fort area – the historic centre of the city, now the city’s main business district – where one can witness the beautiful architectural remains of Colombo’s Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial past.

Head east to Pettah bazaars and enter a shopper’s heaven, as you haggle down everything from fruits and vegetables to footwear and printed fabrics, gemstones and jewellery (and everything in between!) on the narrow cobblestone streets. Pick up some authentic Sri Lankan, Indian, or French culinary delights at a street-side stall before travelling south to the elegant Galle Face Green rife with tree-lined walkways and mansions, not to mention the picture-perfect Viharamahadevi Park.

Colombo won’t disappoint the historically and culturally inclined at the National Museum within the Park, where you can lose yourself in the array of Sinhalese antiques and objects d’art. Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Mount Lavinia beach resort, or watching an elephant show at Dehiwala Zoo – the possibilities are endless.
