Planning your stay
Colombo is about 45 minutes to an hour from the international airport, depending on traffic. Many travellers spend a night here at the start or end of a trip; the city is easiest to explore by tuk-tuk or on a guided tour. Traffic is heaviest at rush hour, so plan sightseeing for mid morning or late afternoon, and finish at Galle Face Green for the sunset.
Things to do nearby
Walk to Galle Face Green, visit Gangaramaya and the National Museum, or explore shopping in Colombo.
