A 54 minutes car drive by highway will take you to Colombo, a city of contrasts, an exotic mix of fancy hotels and ritzy offices, adjacent to stunning colonial-era buildings and shabby blocks of small local cafés and shops alongside the bustling street markets full of spices, handloom cotton and silk, essential goods, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Colombo (or Kolamba as it used to be called) is a great example of the rich stew of religions, races and cultures that have created this surprisingly cosmopolitan city.
Whether you visit Colombo for the first time or not, we can offer you sites and things to do that you haven't experienced yet.
