About Colombo
Colombo busiest/largest and most famous city in the Sri lanka. And its commercial hub to country. Since its occupied by people comes from every culture and religions, so its best place to discover them. This 24 hour busy city with its people gives you the best impression about the country. And don’t forget to see the legacy of Portuguese/Dutch and British around Colombo.
