Discover Colombo, the hidden diamond of the Indian
Travel to the largest shopping and tourist center in the country, which has not stopped evolving and renewing in recent years. From the first moment you see the city you will witness this rapid development that has added a new air to the lively capital. Cross the vibrant city center and admire the impressive buildings of modern architecture that appear in front of you, the glass skyscrapers that represent the wonderful technological and economic prosperity of the place.

Music and voices will keep you company as you wander through the endless bazaars, with the small stalls that appear in front of you and each of them individually is waiting
for you to discover the beloved tastes and smells of the place. Get to know the natural beauty of Colombo through endless walks of relaxation and wellness in its green scenery. Start at the famous Beira, which will enchant you with the view of the impressive altar of Simamalaya that seems to float on the crystal clear waters. After enjoying a romantic boating on the lake, head to the popular Galle Face Green Park and cross the vast expanse under the warm sunlight. Of course if you travel to Colombo and you can not miss a visit to the most important attraction of the place, the National Museum, which being the largest in the country, promises to travel you through its diverse exhibits to other times of historical importance for the whole of Sri Lanka.
