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

Visit the National Museum, Viharamahadevi Park and Colombo Fort, or walk on Galle Face Green.
