Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka
See Colombo's Spiritual Side
Serenity might seem hard to find in calamitous Colombo, but it's hiding in plain sight. Stop at Gangaramaya Temple, and marvel at endless rows of Buddha images or thick, twisty Bodhisattva trees adorned with colorful sashes. Or step inside the vermilion facade of Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque, whether to enjoy a moment of silence or look in on harmonious unison of the call to prayer. It's one of the best things to do in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Feel the Sand Between Your Toes
Galle Face Green Beach in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Feel the Sand Between Your Toes
Colombo's Galle Face Green beach park has something for everyone. Slip off your shoes and sink your toes into the golden sand, and enjoy the famously strong sea breeze rustling through your hair. Stop in at any of the countless snack shops or souvenir stalls, or take selfies with friendly locals who are always eager to welcome visiting tourists to their hometown.
Cool Off With a History Lesson
Step inside 19th-century Colombo National Museum but not just to admire its heritage architecture or enjoy a respite from the city's heat. Take your time digging into the various exhibitions, which chronicle Sri Lankan history before, during, and after the British colonial period, and tackle topics ranging from history and culture to paleontology and botany.
LOCAL CUISINE
Taste singular, spicy Sri Lankan cuisine during your stop in the country's capital. Sit down for a restaurant meal and savor the sour notes of ambul thiyal, a fish curry served with sour pickles, sweet chutneys and spicy chili sambal. Or stop at a street food stall and order appam, a thin pancake made from fermented rice batter and coconut milk, shaped into a bowl and filled with eggs and spiced meat and veggies.
SHOPPING
Head to Pettah Market, near Colombo Railway Station, for the city's most authentic shopping experience. Browse colorful Sri Lankan Raksha masks, which are said to ward off evil, or sample some of the island's finest Ceylon tea. Buy handcrafted coconut-shell kitchenware or hand-carved elephant figurines, or simply enjoy watching locals shuffle through the stalls in search of spices, fresh produce and other sundries.
