Glimpse of Colombo
Sightseeing Highlights:
Discover the essence of Colombo as you explore its iconic landmarks, historic streets, and vibrant cultural hubs. Begin with the majestic Colombo Lighthouse and the Prison Cell of the last Sri Lankan King, then admire the Lighthouse Clock Tower designed by Lady Ward, predating London’s Big Ben. Stroll along Galle Face Promenade with its World War II cannons, explore the bustling Port City and Colombo Harbour, and marvel at the grandeur of the President’s House and York Street with colonial architecture. Visit Fort Railway Station, Floating Market, Slave Island, and the towering Lotus Tower, then enjoy the serenity of Beira Lake. Experience Hindu Kovil with its intricately carved gopuram, War Memorial, National Museum, Nelum Pokuna Theatre, Vihara Mahadevi Park, Independence Square, and many other landmarks that showcase Colombo’s rich heritage, vibrant streets, and unique city life.
