About Colombo

Colombo är Sri Lankas största stad och handelshuvudstad, där koloniala landmärken, buddhistiska tempel, livliga marknader och en strandpromenad möts.

Galle Face Green, en lång gräsmatta vid havet, fylls av familjer, drakflygare och gatumatsstånd när solen sjunker över Indiska oceanen. I närheten har Fort-distriktet kvar koloniala byggnader som Gamla holländska sjukhuset, restaurerat som butiker och restauranger, och den röd- och vitrandiga Jami Ul-Alfar-moskén reser sig över Pettahs trånga marknadsgator.

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