Today, Colombo is a fascinating city – a harmonious blend of east and west, past and present, with its own distinct charm.
A lesser-known but astonishing fact is that Colombo boasts an excellent selection of high-quality restaurants providing food from all over the world, as well as some of Asia’s best shopping choices.
