Where to stay in Colombo 02

Default Image

Kompannaweediya

While visiting Kompannaweediya, you might make a stop by sights like Galle Face Green and One Galle Face.

Kompannaweediya
Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Hunupitiya

When in Hunupitiya, you can plan a visit to Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

Weekanda

Coffee done right at The Grind. A quaint escapade amidst the bustle of Union Place! Few meters away from the Odel Mall you will find this small, trendy coffeehouse. In the picture is a Flat White and I absolutely loved it. There are only a handful of places in Sri Lanka where they do their coffee right and I can safely say that The Grind is one. There are unique dishes and drinks available on their menu and it must be noted that their portions are really worth your buck and all prices are inclusive of service charge and tax! If you are in Colombo, go check out this place. #TroverFoodies #SriLanka #Coffee #Cafehopping

Ibbanwala

While Ibbanwala isn't home to many top sights, Gangaramaya Temple and Colombo City Centre are some notable places to visit nearby.

Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.
