Colombo City Centre

For all the city people there’s a whole lot of things to do in Colombo !

• Pettah Market - crazy busy, but its culture central where you can buy practically anything. It is a great place to experience a very different part of Sri Lanka that’s not landscapes. If you like street photography, Pettah Market is a great place to wonder around!

• The famous Jami Ul-Alfar mosque is located in the midst of Pettah and is an amazing piece of architecture to stop by

• One Galle Face Mall - The newest and probably the biggest mall in Sri Lanka. You can find all the high end brands here, although the prices are more than the UK :/ There are however, a lot of other Sri Lankan shops, souvenir shops, food courts and restaurants. It’s best to visit at night because afterwards, you can go walk on the beach - Galle Face Green.

  • It’s nice during the day too but slightly colder at night and you can see all the lights of city including the Lotus Tower.
