This glorious coast encapsulates Sri Lanka with its sleepy villages sheltering under countless palms, a wonderfully unhurried pace of life, colonial townscapes and local life that revolves around coconut farming, rice cultivation and fishing, particularly stilt-fishing. Factor in countless bays and gorgeous beaches and it's easy to understand why the south coast is such an attractive option for visitors.
Gateway to the south is the charming town of Galle, which has a spectacular setting on the south western tip of Sri Lanka and is home to an atmospheric old port along with some perfectly preserved colonial architecture.
More often than not Sri Lanka's capital is considered as nothing more than a transit point, however those that do allow a day or so to explore Colombo will be pleasantly surprised to find a dynamic city that pulses with life whilst preserving an old world charm – indeed many of the boutique colonial homes have been restored as hotels.
Within this urban hub, which is located on the island's west coast, you will find everything from colonial buildings and historical monuments to temples and museums along with exciting shopping, delectable dining and a vibrant nightlife.
The British influence is clearly visible in the buildings located in the Fort, an area where the larger corporations and stock exchange are situated, as well as the official residence of Sri Lanka's President. Close by is Pettah Market, a bustling maze of stalls with each section selling its own speciality, ranging from foodstuffs to shoes and even gold.
