About Colombo

Colombo er Sri Lankas største by og handelshovedstad, hvor koloniale vartegn, buddhistiske templer, travle markeder og en strandpromenade mødes.

Galle Face Green, en lang græsplæne ved havet, fyldes af familier, drageflyvere og gademadsboder, når solen går ned over Det Indiske Ocean. I nærheden har Fort-distriktet bevaret koloniale bygninger som Det Gamle Hollandske Hospital, restaureret som butikker og restauranter, og den rød-hvidstribede Jami Ul-Alfar-moské rejser sig over Pettahs overfyldte markedsgader.
