What to See and Do in Colombo
If you've never visited Colombo before, it's worth pencilling in some time to explore the city by foot to take in the new surroundings. Once you've got your bearings, take a trip to the National Museum. Founded in 1876, the National Museum is the country's largest museum and houses all of its national treasures.
If you're seeking peace and quiet, pay a visit to Gangaramaya Temple. Legend has it that the temple was once the official accommodation of Buddha himself, and a lock of his hair is allegedly on display for visitors.
Not far from the Temple is Beira Lake, a vast body of water popular with Sri Lankan locals. Spend an afternoon relaxing by the lakeside and visit the Simamalaka Shrine on its central island.
