What People Are Saying About Sri Lanka

Colombo National Museum

avatar
Laowai on the Loose
If you want to learn about the history of Sri Lanka this is a great place to start. The museum shows pre-historic finds and the earliest civilization of Sri Lanka as well as the Colonial era and the history or resistance to those colonial powers. As a history teacher I really enjoyed the museum.

Easwary Seafood (PVT) LTD

avatar
suifeng2019
The fish market on the periphery is busiest from 5 to 7 in the morning. Under the dim light, bargaining is repeated. The so-called tour guide enthusiastically introduces you to all kinds of strange and never-before-seen seafood. .

Stilt Fisherman

avatar
Laura Vicens
Watching the Stilt Fisherman in Sri Lanka is a fascinating cultural experience. Their unique fishing technique on stilts above the waves is mesmerising, especially with the stunning beaches and turquoise waters as the backdrop. It’s a perfect blend of traditional and natural beauty-definitely a must-see!

Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications

avatar
旅の径
Galle Ancient City, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, covers an area of ​​360,000 square meters. It is an ancient city that you must visit when visiting Sri Lanka. Walking on the thick embankment, the gentle sea breeze blows...comfortable; walking through the crisscrossing streets, the strong local customs hit you...free

Sri Dalada Maligawa

avatar
Tania Akter (Sumi)
Sri Dalada Maligawa, or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is a must-visit spiritual and cultural landmark in Kandy. The temple’s stunning architecture, intricate carvings, and serene atmosphere create a truly divine experience. The daily rituals and historical significance of the sacred tooth relic add to its charm. However, it can get quite crowded, especially during ceremonies. Dress modestly and be prepared for security.

Kandy Lake

avatar
Tania Akter (Sumi)
Kandy Lake, nestled in the heart of Kandy, Sri Lanka, is a serene and picturesque destination perfect for a leisurely stroll. Surrounded by lush greenery and historic sites, the lake offers breathtaking views, especially at sunrise and sunset. The peaceful atmosphere, diverse birdlife, and charming lakeside benches make it an ideal spot to relax. While the walk around the lake is pleasant, occasional traffic noise can be a minor drawback. Overall, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers.

Negombo Beach

avatar
DEAR张小球
Negombo Beach is very beautiful, the coast is very clean, but there are not many tourists, but I see many local fishermen fishing in some places. The scenery is a good place, and more importantly, the beach is also very clean with few people.

St. Mary's Church

avatar
DEAR张小球
St. Mary's Church is a particularly beautiful Catholic church and the surroundings are also very good. People here hold weddings. Most will choose to be held here at St. Mary's Church, which is also a local landmark historical building.

Horton Plains National Park

avatar
Tania Akter (Sumi)
Horton Plains National Park is a breathtaking natural wonder in Sri Lanka, perfect for nature lovers and hikers. The scenic trails lead to stunning viewpoints like World's End and Baker’s Falls, offering incredible panoramic views. The park is home to diverse wildlife, including sambar deer and unique bird species. The cool climate and misty landscapes create a magical atmosphere. An early morning visit is best to catch clear views. Remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
