Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, has a long history as an important port on the ancient east-west trade routes, and has been variously ruled by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. That heritage is reflected in its often charming architecture and unique culture.
The city is fast developing into a regional business hub, buzzing with activity and filled with interesting things to do and see. Visitors will enjoy discovering the best of local authentic cuisines – including some of the word’s exquisite curries – and some fine historic buildings.
Colombo also presents, of course, a cosmopolitan side, with ever-more stylish cafés, shops and galleries opening all the time.
Explore, discover, and enjoy getting to know the enthralling city of Colombo.
