コロンボはスリランカで最も有名です。 120 年以上前に建てられ、仏教に捧げられています。この寺院は、スリランカ、中国、タイ、ビルマ、その他の芸術的スタイルを紹介する豪華な建築と彫像で有名です。
その建築は、ザクロ型のドームを取り入れたインドサラセン様式です。しかし、最も驚くべき特徴は、各レンガが赤または白に塗装され、対照的なデザインで使用されていることです. (写真ストップ)
ヴィハラマハデヴィ公園またはビクトリア公園として正式に知られているのは、コロンボの中心部に位置する最大、最古、そして最もカラフルな公園です。リラックスしたり、木陰を散歩したり、ピクニックをしたり、家族と過ごすのに最適な場所です。
独立広場は、スリランカのコロンボにある有名なシナモン ガーデン地区にあります。その名前は、1948 年の英国統治からのスリランカの独立を記念して建てられた独立記念館に由来します。広場の近くには、旧植民地政府の建物を利用した近代的なショッピング モール、アーケードがあります。
ペタはコロンボで最も古い地区の 1 つです。それは国内で最も民族的に混じり合った場所です。大きな宗教的な建物は多くの信仰を表していますが、市場の屋台や店ではより地上的な追求が見られます。朝と午後のラッシュアワーには、ペタの混雑が圧倒されることがあります。
鉄道は 150 年以上前にイギリス人によって開通されました。コロンボの古いフォート地域は、市内で最もにぎやかなエリアの 1 つです。 1877年に臨海鉄道が開通し、最初の駅が開業しました。当時、中央駅はマラダナに近い場所にありましたが、現在はスリランカ鉄道博物館としてその場所が見られます。
聖アンソニー教会は、コロンボだけでなく、セイロン全体で、金持ちも貧乏人もすべての人々によって育てられた聖アンソニーへの愛と献身の記念碑です。アンソニーがこの都市とこの島、そして彼のすべての敬虔な人々とそこにいる恋人たちを守りますように。
スリ ポンナンバラ ワネスワラム寺院は、スリランカで最も優れたドラヴィダ建築の例の 1 つです。ペタの北東にあるコタヘナにあるこの寺院は、南インドの花崗岩で建てられています。ヒンズー教のシヴァ神に捧げられています。古すぎるわけではありませんが、古代ドラヴィダ建築の比類のない例です。
事務局、議会室、および政府事務所の新しい建物は、今年後半にコロンボに完成する予定です。英国植民地時代に建てられた現在の建物に取って代わります。
バンダラナイケ記念国際会議場は、島で最も重要なコンベンション センターの 1 つです。 BMICH の床面積は 16,000 平方フィートを超えます。このコンベンションセンターの建設は、スリランカ人と中国人労働者の共同プロジェクトでした。
スリランカ人は、家、ホテル、オフィスを飾るために、また贈り物としてアートを購入します。 Nelum Pokuna のストリート アーティストは、この努力に力を注いできました。観光客が家に持ち帰るには、地元のテーマを描いた絵が最高の記念品です。
灯台は、植民地時代の数少ない灯台の 1 つで、現在も運用されています。灯台の d は、コロンボのその地域の労働者が、当時誰もが個人用の時計を買う余裕がなかったため、より時間厳守できるように委託されました。
塔は 20 世紀初頭に、カーンという名前のパルシー (ボンベイ出身) の家族によって建てられました。 4 階建ての高い塔は、造園されたラウンドアバウトに今日まで残っています。付属の噴水は長い間止まっていましたが、時計塔は機能し続けています。
Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil の寺院は、スリランカで最も美しく魅力的な場所の 1 つです。神と女神の美しくエレガントな絵がたくさんあります。また、占星術チャートの美しい彫刻があります。この寺院の内屋根は、見事な絵画で飾られています。 Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil の寺院は、コロンボで最も古いヒンズー教寺院であると言われています。

It was booked last minute and was a good insight of Colombo. Managed to see quite a bit by driving around and also stopping off at places. Some of the places of worship have set visiting times so be mindful of that. Easy to contact via WhatsApp.
Driver was not very engaged and didn’t give us much commentary. We did see as much as we wanted to see but didn’t enjoy our driver
The tour was efficient in terms of time used. My guide was courteous, helpful and knowledgeable about the city and its history. It was time well spent, about two hours with little time wasted

We saw a lot of Colombo in a few hours in a late model mini bus with air con. Driver was very good and with good English. However at end it was a bit difficult to get to any markets for shopping so we just visited one Brand shop as a friend wanted Ceylon Tea. All in all great value. They met us at the ship. Dropped us off at Port gate on return and we took shuttle buses from there to the ship The hlghlight was the Buddhist temple and also Colombo was very very tidy and all be it a lot of old infrastructure littering was not evident. Most surprising and impressive. Sri Lanka is definitely worth a visit. Our trip was too short. Plenty more to see for sure. Read less ^ Explore Search Plan Review Account

We did it our own. It was a 6 nights and 7 days family tour of Sri Lanka. We were 5 (4 adults and 1 baby<2). Airport to airport taxi for the whole journey was amazing! The spacious taxi was full of comfort and convenience. It was dedicated to us 24x7 with an English speaking guide cum driver! We covered Colombo, Trincomalee, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Elia, Ella, Yala, Bentota with comfortable stay at different places managed by our own. The guide facilitated us with best of Indian food at various places of stay. The beaches, the mountains, the places of religious importance and the visit of Yala National Park were superb.

I guess I was expecting a tour with a guide who explained the history of Colombo. I had a driver who pointed out buildings, many which had the use on a sign. I visited an interesting temple but the driver didn’t compute to explain the significance so I am still unaware of its significance. Visiting a park was of little value when the explanation was this is where families come on the weekends. The three hour “tour” was completed in under two hours including the late arrival of the driver. I noted that other tourists had their guide explaining the places where we stopped. It was poor value for what I received.

Hi Viator, now we are back from our vacation in Sri Lanka, I can write about our Half Day City Tour experience in Colombo on 8/12/2023 in the afternoon. The “tour guide” is not a professional tour guide at all. He did come to pick us up at the hotel at 2:30pm, he basically ended up driving us around to a few tourist spots and that’s it. We each paid $30 (total of $60), which is a lot of money in Sri Lanka, but we got no tour in terms of explanation of the sites or culture or history at all. His English was terrible, when he dropped us off at a site, he left us alone and then he talked on his cell phone. At one point he drove us to a big souvenir shop as a tour site and I had to told him that we did not want to shop, we wanted city site-seeing and a tour. He did not deliver the tour at all, he just drove us to sites and that’s it. At one point, he even drove to a car repair shop and had a mechanic to look at one of his tires. He also talked on his cell phone while he was driving. The whole half day city tour was ridiculous. We have done many Viator programs in various cities and countries, this one does not live up to the Viator standards at all. We suggest that you stop using that tour company period!!!
Apple Vacations went the extra mile to ensure I saw everything I wanted to of Colombo. My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the sights. Overall, a great tour worth the money - especially for those travelling solo (I felt comfortable the entire time). Would recommend to anyone, travelling solo or in a group!
