Sri Lanka's commercial capital, Colombo, is a vibrant modern Asian metropolis with a rich history dating back to colonial times. A beehive of activity that always has something or another to keep the visitor occupied at any given time of the day. Colombo is a city full of great bargains, from shopping malls selling designer brands, (most of which are manufactured here), to street hawkers and exotic souvenir boutiques selling locally crafted wood carvings, ceramics, handlooms and batiks. To keep up with the rapid development and the rising population of visitors, Colombo has transformed into an ever wakeful city, boasting a vibrant night-life with glitzy nightclubs, casinos and pubs with live entertainment to suit any taste be it rock, jazz, or any other genre of music.
If you plan on eating out, there are hundreds of restaurants with menus that range from the traditionally spicy to a myriad of international cuisines from any part of the world. Just ask your hotel reception for complete details on what's happening in town. You'd be overwhelmed by the number of things you can do in Colombo.
