A little more about Colombo
The vibrancy and culture of Colombo is unsurpassed by any of Sri Lanka’s other cities, which is why it is the country’s capital.

The atmospheric buzz travellers are hit with when they arrive is exciting and immense. This is a city oozing culture and history, from the busy side streets overflowing with fantastic colours and aromas from the many markets to the historical and architecturally beautiful forts and gardens.

Development within the capital is increasing and there are a number of luxurious hotels and resorts in progress including the magnificent Wallawwa.

Colombo offers a small taster of what Sri Lanka has to offer, including historical and cultural delights, beautiful beaches and fascinating people. It is a perfect starting or ending point for any travellers wishing to learn more about this intriguing country.

When to go
October to March is best, but Sri Lanka can be visited most of the year.
