Colombo Holidays


asia
Sri Lanka’s sprawling capital is a city of contrast, where serene Buddhist temples and colonial churches nestle amid ramshackle streets and rapidly developing commercial districts.

The bustling markets and stylish boutiques offer ample shopping opportunities, whilst there is a growing food scene with an increasing number of cosmopolitan restaurants and trendy bars. There are numerous historic sights to explore and no visit is complete without a stroll along Galle Face Green on the city’s waterfront
