About Colombo

Colombo, la mayor ciudad y capital comercial de Sri Lanka, reúne edificios coloniales, templos budistas, mercados animados y un paseo marítimo.

Galle Face Green, un largo césped junto al mar, se llena de familias, aficionados a las cometas y puestos de comida callejera cuando el sol se pone sobre el océano Índico. Cerca, el distrito del Fuerte conserva edificios coloniales como el antiguo Hospital Holandés, restaurado como tiendas y restaurantes, y la mezquita Jami Ul-Alfar, a rayas rojas y blancas, se alza sobre las abarrotadas calles comerciales de Pettah.

Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
