COLOMBO
Colombo – Sri Lanka’s chief city and sea port and until recently its capital, is a blend of old and new, east and west. This is a modern city, which has many reminders of its European colonial past. Bustling bazaars, Buddhist and Hindu Temples and Muslim Mosques contrast with high rises, smart modern shopping malls and multi-national chain hotels.
Sightseeing highlights include the Colombo National and Dutch period museums, old parliament houses, Buddhist Temple, Town Hall, and the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall.
Apart from excellent shopping, Colombo offers visits to one of the world’s leading tea auctions, an 18-hole Golf Course, seasonal Buddhist and Hindu pageants, international cricket tournaments, plush casinos, enjoyable evening entertainment and excellent restaurants. State-of-the-Art communications and Cyber services are available in the hotels and other outlets.
Good road and rail transport links are possible from Colombo to all tourist resorts. A number of cruise lines also call at the Colombo Port.
The Pettah area, which is in the heart of Colombo, is a beehive of activity. Traders and payment hawkers of all kinds flock to Colombo and it is a well-known fact that Pettah is where the best bargains are available.
