Colombo- the Commercial Capital of Sri Lanka is a beautiful city with many places to see and explore. Yes, you may call it a modern town with the latest luxuries and comforts, but there are many attractions worth exploring that have religious and historical significance too.
Gangaramaya Temple
During your days spent at prominent hotel chains such as Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts in Colombo, you will have access to many great attractions and visiting the Gangaramaya Temple is one of them. The modern architecture on the premises has beautifully combined with its cultural essence, and you’ll love this combination!
Old Galle Buck Lighthouse
Located close to the Galle Face Green, you find the Old Galle Buck Lighthouse that is currently being maintained by the Sri Lankan Navy. Visit this place after 5.00 pm to have the best panoramic views of the surroundings from the top.
The zoo in Dehiwala
The reason why Colombo is one of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka for families when on holiday is that there are many experiences within the city that the families can try out together. Visiting the National Zoological Gardens of Sri Lanka is one such experience. With animals like elephants, sea lions, and chimpanzees you find there, it is going to be fun and exciting, especially for the kids.
Attidiya Bird Sanctuary
Sri Lanka is a popular country for bird watching, and if you run out of time in your tour to visit Kumana, just head to the Attidiya Bird Sanctuary to see more than 50 different breeds of birds.
