4 days in Colombo Itinerary

The commercial capital of the country, Colombo has added modern touches to its colonial-era core, creating an exciting and eclectic coastal city.

Change things up with these side-trips from Colombo: Negombo Beach (in Negombo) and Bentota (Sea Turtle Protection Association & Bentota Beach). Spend the 21st (Tue) spotting exotic species with a safari tour. There's still lots to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple, enjoy the sand and surf at Mount Lavinia Beach, walk around Galle Face Green, and stop by Illusionist Magic & Collectables.
