Captivating Colombo
There's a great variety to experience in and around Colombo, the bustling port city and capital nestled on Sri Lanka's western coastline. From culinary to cultural, you'll certainly get your fill of the best Sri Lankan sights, sounds and flavours with a visit here. Step back in time at the Gangaramaya Temple, take a tour of Independence Square, and gaze in awe at the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya, located a short drive northeast of the city centre. For a spot of relaxation, make your way to the golden sands of Mount Lavinia Beach; or for further sightseeing thrills, head south along the coast to explore Galle, its historic fort and Portuguese colonial influences.
A great way to take in Colombo's spirit is with a hop across its foodie scene. For your first taste of local street food, head to the promenade along Galle Face Beach and sample iconic local dishes, such as string-hoppers (rice noodles shaped into pancakes) and kottu roti (chopped flatbread fried with eggs, meat and spices). A hotspot for locals to pick up their wholesale grains, rice and spices, Pettah Floating Market offers another way to experience authentic Sri Lankan living, as you immerse yourself within its buzz and bustle.
