Colombo |
Sri Lanka's capital up to recent times |
|
Sri Lanka's capital up to recent times, Colombo has been a flourishing seaport for centuries. |
|
Colombo, is a fascinating
city, not only for a comfortable blend of east and west, but also
for a cosy mixture of the past and present. It is still the commercial
centre of the country and is situated 34 km. from the International Airport, Today the
bustle of its harbour mingles with the activity of its busy commercial,
banking and shopping areas. The original trading settlers - the
Portuguese, Dutch and the British have all left in their wake churches
and monuments, names and religions, costumes and food and smatterings
of their languages which have been absorbed into the speech of the
Sri Lankans. Colombo, with its population of over half a million
is divided into fifteen zones. While in Colombo attractions worth
seeing are:- Buddhists temples, Hindu temples, Mosques, Christian
churches, Parliament building, Parks, Zoo, Museums and Art Galleries.
A half day tour covering 40 km. and including visits to a Buddhist
Temple, Hindu Temple, the Zoo and the residential areas will cost
around US $ 18 for a car with a chauffeur guide.
