Sri Lanka is a breathtaking island, and its vibrant capital, Colombo, is a true reflection of its beauty. This dynamic city is home to people of various faiths, with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam being the three major religions.
For tourists exploring Sri Lanka, Colombo offers an array of attractions. Ancient Buddhist temples with centuries of history, colorful Hindu kovils, and majestic Muslim mosques contribute to the city’s rich cultural heritage. Colombo is also home to the country’s largest domestic wholesale market, making it a hub of trade and commerce.
The city’s architectural charm is further enhanced by colonial-era buildings constructed during British and Dutch rule. Additionally, Colombo is a great place to purchase Sri Lanka’s most valuable exports—copper, tea, and precious gemstones—at affordable prices.
Known as the "Pearl of Asia," Sri Lanka welcomes visitors with countless fascinating sites in Colombo. To truly appreciate your journey

What To Expect
Galle Face Green
Galle Face Green is a 5 ha (12 acres) ocean-side urban park, which stretches for 500 m (1,600 ft) along the coast, in the heart of Colombo, the financial and business capital of Sri Lanka. The promenade was initially laid out in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, although the original Galle Face Green extended over a much larger area than is seen today. The Galle Face Green was initially used for horse racing and as a golf course, but was also used for cricket, polo, football, tennis, and rugby.
Old Parliament Building
A colonial-era building, constructed in the Neo-Baroque style, that served as the Parliament of Sri Lanka until 1983. It now houses the Presidential Secretariat.

5.00I recently took a private Colombo city tour with Sako Tours using their Alto car service. It was such a smooth and relaxing experience! The vehicle was clean and ideal for city travel, and the driver was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We visited major attractions like Gangaramaya Temple, Independence Square, and Galle Face Green, and even stopped for some local snacks. The team was very responsive and offered personalized service throughout the trip. Highly recommended for solo travelers or couples looking for an affordable and comfortable way to explore Colombo.
