Visiting Colombo
Sri Lanka's biggest city and commercial capital on the west coast, with colonial buildings, a busy port and a long seafront. Most trips around the island start or end here.
Best time to visit: December to March for Colombo and the west and south coasts. The east coast has its dry season from about May to September, so part of the island has good weather in most months.
Landmarks & highlights
- Galle Face Green
A seafront promenade that fills with families and street-food stalls in the evening.
- Gangaramaya Temple
A busy Buddhist temple mixing Sri Lankan, Thai and Chinese styles, with a small museum.
- Pettah Market
Crowded bazaar streets near the Fort district, each known for its own goods.
- Colombo National Museum
Sri Lanka's largest museum, in a colonial building with royal regalia and ancient art.
Local tip: Go to Galle Face Green around sunset and try isso wade (prawn fritters) from the stalls.
Getting around: Tuk-tuks are everywhere; use one with a meter or book through a ride-hailing app. Trains from Colombo Fort to Kandy and Galle are slow but scenic.
Good to know: At temples, take off shoes and hats and cover shoulders and knees, and don't take photos with your back to a Buddha statue.
