Explore Colombo
There's plenty to explore in Colombo, the dynamic capital city of Sri Lanka that has been influenced by the exotic blend of communities that call the city home. Visit Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple, full of fascinating artefacts, lavish architecture and golden Buddha statues, or the remains of historic Colombo Fort, a walled city originally housing administrative and military buildings, cinnamon storehouses, mills and churches. East of the Fort the busy bazaar district of The Pettah is quite unlike anywhere else in Sri Lanka. Each street is devoted to a different trade and also features numerous vendors selling delicious fresh fruits and vegetables.
