What Are the Top Destinations in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka tours will show most of the island’s cultural and natural treasures in a week or two, but should also tea plantations and delicious food.

Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in Sri Lanka.

Colombo is the booming Capital of Sri Lanka with some really nice buildings, temples and a great beach area populated by lots of people evenings and weekends.

Dambulla Cave Temple is the largest and best preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. Major attractions include 5 caves that contain statues and paintings and are accessible to the public.

Old and interesting beach city with a famous (Dutch) fortress with walls and everything. One of Sri Lankas ´must-do´ locations. Note the nice beaches and fishermen on stilts a little more south...

Kandi is a nice and central city where you can relax and enjoy Sri Lanka. The main attractions are the lake, the Tooth Relic temple and the parks in the direct surrounding area.

Sigiriya is famous for the gigantic rock with ancient carving, elephant foot entrance to a merely accessible path and ultimately the remains of a temple on top of the rock. Every visit to Sri Lanka should include this sacred place. But it is hot out there, so bring your sun hat and crème!

Ella is a small town in the center of Sri Lanka. It is the starting point for two attractions in these hills: little Adam's peak and the scenic train to Kandy. The five arches bridge, waterfalls and rice fields are nearby.

Polonnaruwa was once the capital of the Kingdom Polonnaruwa. Now it is an ancient place with a lot of ruins.
