Sri Lanka’s capital today with about 650,000 inhabitants. A fascinating city not only because of its mixture of East and West, but also because of its cozy mix of past and present. It is and remains the commercial city of the country.
After independence in 1948, the city became the political center of the island. Worth seeing today is the combination of colonial and modern architecture. Colombo offers visitors a variety of shops and markets of all kinds, good restaurants and several large modern shopping malls. Colombo offers perfect opportunities for those who want to shop extensively.
