Sri Lanka is full of unmissable experiences. Seasoned Asia travellers will tell you that chilling in Colombo is not one of them. After all, it’s no Phnom Penh or even New Delhi, both bustling with cultural sites and historical monuments. Neither does it offer lively nightlife or a vibrant street shopping experience of say a Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok. But being from the island city of Mumbai, we have a deep affinity for cities that demand a little warming up to before you fall in love with them. So when the opportunity to explore Colombo comes our way, we accept.
URBAN SAFARI
We get our first glimpse of the city from a suite at the Mövenpick Hotel Colombo. Thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, boasting stunning views of the city and Indian Ocean, it truly is a sight to behold. The Liberty Arcade is next door, the local market is a minute away, the famous Galle Green Face can be reached in five minutes, and the city’s beautiful historic and cultural sites are situated within close proximity.
