Tour Summary
When you first arrive in Colombo, you will have the distinct impression that you have arrived home. Indian traders from Calicut and Gujarat also made it their rendezvous point with Arabs from the Gulf of Oman. Known to Roman, Arab, and Chinese traders for the past two thousand years.
The natural point of convergence for merchants from the most inaccessible regions of the past, today it is a thriving city that is frequented by tourists who are either on holiday in Sri Lanka or stopping over in Sri Lanka on their way to the core of Asia.
With its time-honored allure and refined demeanour, Colombo was able to weather the storm of European colonisation. As a result, in the year 1907, it was ranked as the seventh largest protected port in the entire world.
Its fascinating history is reflected in its diverse population, which adheres to a range of ethical systems, including Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian. This vibrant history is displayed by a great number of notable landmarks located within its Municipality.
