It still bears the marks and structures of its colonial past and these co-exist in harmony with the modernization that has taken place in the past many decades. A centre of life and beating heart, Colombo is a must see when visiting. Don’t be fooled by its all work-work look at first, but to those who are willing to take a closer look, the city is willing to present treasure after treasure, street by street. From 400 year old stone walls inside a bank to Stupa’s built on stilts to the awe-inspiring sunsets of the golden mile and a lot more.
