However, due to the short time spent in the capital, most visitors tend to miss out on the cultural and historical sites Colombo has to offer!
Walk along the streets of Colombo and you get to see the beauty of the city. Pettah Market is the place to go to see the real nature of the country. Take a look as locals do their marketing here, and watch numerous visitors snap photos of architectural elegance around the market. The Galle Face Green Promenade is also the place to be in the city, especially for couples and families who enjoy a nice relaxing stroll around the city.
