Sri lanka’s commercial capital Colombo is a Fascinating city, not only for a comfortable blend of East & West but also a cosy mixture of the past & Present. Colombo is dotted with many interesting & important tourist attractions including colonial era buildings. Situated 34km from the International Airport, Colombo has been a flourishing seaport for centuries; from the time when ancient seafarers from Cathay, Persia, & Morocco traded in pearls, precious stones, peacocks, elephant, cinnamon & other spices. The original trading settlers, the Portuguese, Dutch & the British have all left in their wake churches, monuments, names, religions, costumes & food & smattering of their languages which have been absorbed into the speech of the Sri Lanka.
