Meet the chauffeur guide at the airport arrival lobby. Then, proceed to Colombo to visit the Gangaramaya Temple, located by the renowned Beira Lake, which has been around for over 120 years. Next, explore the Hindu temple Kathiresan Kovil on Galle Road.

Following that, visit the National Museum in Colombo, established in 1877 by the British Governor of Ceylon, Sir William Henry Gregory. Also, see the historic St. Peter’s Church in Colombo Fort, which served as a governor’s residence during the Dutch era and later as a garrison church under British rule.

Today’s bustling Colombo Fort was once a military fort for the Portuguese in 1505 and the Dutch in 1656. In 1796, the British transformed the fort by removing the ramparts and building houses and civilian structures. Some colonial buildings still stand alongside modern ones, showcasing Dutch, Portuguese, and British architecture dating back to the 1700s. Notable Dutch architecture includes the Dutch Hospital, the Dutch House, and the Wolvendaal Church. British architectural examples include the Queen’s House, Town Hall, Old General Post Office, Old Parliament, Colombo Museum, Cargill’s and Millers buildings, and the Grand Oriental Hotel.

Colombo is an excellent place to shop for handicrafts. The longest-established venue is the government-run Laksala, where two floors display a variety of traditional Sri Lankan crafts, batik, and wood carvings. Prices are reasonable and clearly marked, eliminating the need for bargaining.

Afterward, return to the airport or your hotel in Colombo or Negombo city.
