Guide to Colombo

map
The largest city in Sri Lanka, and its capital, Colombo lies to the southwest of the country, and is veined by canals. It has a population of 647,000 people in the metropolitan area, and it's best to visit between November and April. For an atmospheric evening, head to Galle Face Green Promenade, a bustling beach lapped by the Indian Ocean. Don't miss the elephant show at Colombo Zoo at 5.15 every afternoon.
