One day Tour
Overview
This one-day city tour gives you a taste of Colombo’s diverse character, blending old and new, traditional and modern. You’ll start at Pettah Market, a busy commercial district where you can shop for textiles, local goods, and try authentic street food while experiencing the energy of daily life in Colombo. The area around Colombo Fort Railway Station showcases British colonial architecture and serves as a hub for public transportation.
From there, you’ll visit Port City Colombo, a newly developed waterfront district and special economic zone that represents the city’s modern ambitions. The skyline, restaurants, and infrastructure here contrast sharply with the older parts of town. Next, you’ll head to the National Museum, the largest in Sri Lanka, where artifacts ranging from ancient rock inscriptions to royal artifacts and natural history exhibits tell the story of the island’s past.

It’s a center of learning and a key site for understanding the country’s religious heritage. You’ll wrap up the day at Galle Face Green, a popular oceanfront park where locals gather in the evenings to relax, fly kites, and enjoy street food by the sea.
