About Colombo

Colombo is de grootste stad en handelshoofdstad van Sri Lanka, met koloniale bouwwerken, boeddhistische tempels, drukke markten en een kustboulevard.

Galle Face Green, een lang grasveld aan zee, loopt vol met gezinnen, vliegeraars en eetkraampjes wanneer de zon boven de Indische Oceaan ondergaat. Vlakbij heeft de wijk Fort koloniale gebouwen bewaard, zoals het Oude Nederlandse Hospitaal, dat is gerestaureerd tot winkels en restaurants, en de rood-wit gestreepte Jami Ul-Alfar-moskee rijst op boven de drukke marktstraten van Pettah.
