About Colombo

Colombo er Sri Lankas største by og handelshovedstad, der koloniale landemerker, buddhistiske templer, travle markeder og en strandpromenade møtes.

Galle Face Green, en lang gressplen ved havet, fylles av familier, dragefluktere og gatematboder når solen går ned over Det indiske hav. Like ved har Fort-distriktet bevart koloniale bygninger som Det gamle nederlandske sykehuset, restaurert som butikker og restauranter, og den rød-hvitstripete Jami Ul-Alfar-moskeen reiser seg over Pettahs trange markedsgater.
