Due to years of turbulent politics and civil war, Sri Lanka was all but closed off to the outside world of travelers, save for cricket, Sri Lanka’s other religion.

A destination, due to either personal views or just an ethos of safe travelling was not on the agenda of the average traveller or tourist.

Visit Fort

The beautiful promenade stretches around the seaward sides of the city and is being refurbished back to its old colonial glory.

The Old Dutch Hospital

This beautiful old colonial building has been restored and now houses some of Colombo’s best restaurants, shops, and spas.

Eat at The Ministry of Crab

The only reason you have for not visiting this restaurant while in Colombo is being allergic to crab!

Enjoy High Tea

There are some really lovely spots for high tea in Colombo, but the Old Dutch Hospital won’t disappoint with its lovely atmosphere and delightful array of cakes and tea.

Sunset on Galle Face Green

This is a very popular place for people to come and chill out, watch the sunset and grab a bite to eat at the food stalls line that The Green in the evening.
