Colombo is Sri Lanka’s bustling commercial capital — a dynamic city that blends colonial charm, religious diversity, luxury shopping, and street food. Once a key port for traders and colonizers, today it features a mix of modern skyscrapers, heritage buildings, and a growing arts scene. Tourists enjoy visiting temples, Dutch forts, bazaars, museums, and beaches — all within a short drive. It’s a great introduction to Sri Lanka’s urban life and cultural diversity.
