Colombo Tours & Holidays
Escorted tours and holidays to Colombo
The Sri Lankan capital offers a vast colonial heritage, delicious and unique dishes, and ocean views.
Sri Lanka is one of South Asia’s most interesting destinations, with tea plantations, jungles, and the vibrant capital of Colombo. During your holiday, the city offers plenty of charm including the bustling street markets of Pettah, a covered marketplace with local vendors selling fresh produce and apparel.
If you’re a sports fan, Colombo is also a fascinating place to get acquainted with Sri Lanka’s cricketing past. Enjoy a delicious lunch at the Cricket Club Cafe, which is decorated with a selection of cricket memorabilia dating back to the mid-century. If you fancy some fresh air and scenic views, you could spend the afternoon strolling Galle Face Green, an urban park and oceanfront promenade.
Of course, you can’t visit Colombo without trying some of the local cuisine, including fish ambul thiyal (sour fish curry), parippu (dhal), and wambatu moju (fried aubergine and pickle).
