Sri Lanka is a beautiful island known for its intermingling of historic with modern, and the city of Colombo is no exception to this. This guide highlights how to experience both sides of the city while enjoying yourself in the process.
City Living
Colombo has a number of iconic places, among them historic areas like Colombo Fort and Gangaramaya Temple, which show how the city has evolved over time. Staying at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams gives easy access to these areas while enjoying comfortable Colombo city hotel rooms.
Art And Design Spaces
Colombo’s galleries and independent stores highlight local creativity, from handcrafted items to contemporary pieces. These spaces add a different layer to the city, offering something meaningful to take back from your visit.
Markets And Local Finds
Pettah Market offers a look at everyday life, with stalls selling spices, textiles, and handmade items and everything in between. It is a good place to explore on foot, while you haggle with sellers and get the best prices of the day.
Coastal Walks
Galle Face Green provides space to walk, sit, and take in the coastline. It adds balance to the trip after exploring busier parts of the city because the cool breeze, greenery and calming presence of the ocean are quite relaxing.
