Seaplanes at Waters Edge

Colombo, Sri Lanka’s vibrant and bustling capital, is a city full of life and energy. With a rich history, it was once a thriving trade port for Arab merchants and later attracted colonial powers like the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, who all left a lasting impact on the culture.

For those who love to shop, Colombo offers a delightful mix of high-end malls and bustling street markets. Visit Crescat Boulevard and Majestic City for top brands, or stop by ODEL for designer fashion, Barefoot for local crafts, and Ceramic Corporation for exquisite “Noritake” china. The Pettah market is an unmissable experience, with its labyrinth of streets, shops, and charming historic buildings.

Discover Sri Lanka’s rich history and culture at the National Museum and Folk Art Centre, or explore the religious heritage of the island by visiting the many temples, mosques, and churches around the city.

Colombo is also a fantastic family destination. Spend time at the Dehiwala Zoo, take a walk through Viharamahadevi Park, enjoy the peaceful Independence Square, and catch a magical sunset at Galle Face Green.

When the evening arrives, Colombo transforms into a lively nightlife hub. From theatrical performances at the Lionel Wendt Art Centre to musical and cultural events at the Nelum Pokuna Performing Arts Theatre, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget to sample the delicious street food and local flavors that Colombo’s eateries are famous for.
