The cultural city of Colombo is full of attractions, such as Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre, and is loved for its cafes and seafood restaurants.
Mount Lavinia is known for its beaches and seafood restaurants, and entices visitors with its popular attractions, including Mount Lavinia Beach and Dehiwala Zoological Garden.
If you like shopping, take time out to go to Colombo City Centre when in Colombo 02. Splash some more cash at One Galle Face, Liberty Plaza and Galle Face Green Night Market.
Galle Face Green is worth a pic or two when discovering Kompannaweediya. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
If you like strolling among the stalls, you might want to head out to Pettah Market in Fort and take in the atmosphere. Splash some more cash at Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct and One Galle Face.
Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall
8.4/10 (77 reviews)
If you're planning a bit of sightseeing, head to Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall – just one of the monuments in Thimbirigasyaya. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the art galleries in the area.
If being by the water is a major draw, Galle Face Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1.2 mi (1.9 km) from central Colombo. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Crow Island Beach.
Imagine soaking up the atmosphere at R. Premadasa Stadium, a stadium in Maligawatta. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? If you think R. Premadasa Stadium is cool, you might also like Sugathadasa Stadium and Sinhalese Sports Club, both located nearby.

Beautiful oasis in Colombo: charming rooms, fantastic spa (best massage I’ve ever had!) and I highly recommend the cooking demonstration where the chefs will show you how to make Jaffna curries. A wonderful stay!

We arrived in Colombo and our driver from the hotel was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. We went straight to Aathma (means soul in Sanskrit and boy did it have soul!!) From the second we arrived the second we left, we felt welcomed, at home, and so at peace with the beautiful surroundings of architecture, nature and people. The owners Dushy, Niyo & Samir were so special to deal with. Their lovely natures and welcoming vibe made us feel at home straight away at Aathma. The rooms were...

The Galle Face Hotel is a truly exceptional place to stay. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Colombo and on the beach. The actual building is beautfiul, a majestic old colonial. The rooms are spacious and airy. The staff and service are second to none. There is a lovely salt water pool and a gym - plus great bar and restaurant.

Luxurious hotel next door to the Galle Face shopping mall. Wonderful views, beautiful breakfast and a free happy hour drinks and nibbles in the bar. As it was just an overnight stay, I didn't try the amenities but the pool looked lovely. The staff were very professional and went out of their way to be helpful.

stayed here on the last day of our trip. This was an exceptional hotel. Clean, modern and the attention to detail is surperb. From the moment we walked through the door Shamin and Nethmi looked after us. They made check in a breeze, cold towels on arrival and a lovely refreshing drink. They took us to our room, and showed us around the magnificent hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel, the roof top pool and restaurant/bar have exceptional views over looking Colombo and the ocean. Wish...
