About Colombo
Colombo is Sri Lanka's capital and a mix of colonial architecture, Buddhist temples, and beach promenades. It's not a destination; it's a gateway to the rest of Sri Lanka (tea country, beaches, safaris). The food is underrated (hoppers, kottu roti, rice and curry). Spend 1-2 days max and get to the coast or hills.
