A hotspot full of diverse attractions from upscale shopping malls to busy markets, restaurants and cafes to vibrant nightlife, you’ll find many things to do in Colombo. Here, contrasting lifestyles and traditions both old and new continue, while heritage sites, colonial mansions and ultra-modern skyscrapers sit side by side. The legacies left by the Portuguese, Dutch and English remain in the city’s culture and architecture with many colonial buildings restored and maintained.
Several historical sites including ancient Buddhist temples, Hindu Kovils, churches, and mosques are also found in the heart of the city.
