Overview
Colombo has a colorful history running back to fifth century. Even in the ancient times this was an important port city in East-West sea trade. Now it has bloomed in to a bustling modern city with a unique atmosphere. The glitzy hotels, restaurants and modern shopping malls attract hordes of locals and tourists alike.
The spectacular city of Colombo is a mixture of colonial and modern atmosphere. Along with colonial era mansions there are modern condos reaching the sky.
