Other highlights include the Royal Botanical Gardens, Bahirawakanda Temple, Udawattekele Sanctuary, the Ceylon Tea Museum, and Wales Park – perfect for a peaceful stroll.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic:
A visit to this sacred temple is a must when in Kandy. Known locally as Sri Dalada Maligawa, it is Sri Lanka’s most revered Buddhist site, dating back to the 16th century.
Located next to the former royal palace and overlooking Kandy Lake, the temple houses the sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha – a powerful symbol of Sinhalese identity and heritage.
Every day, thousands of pilgrims dressed in white bring lotus flowers and frangipani as offerings during traditional puja ceremonies. Although the relic itself is kept within a golden casket, visitors can view the inner shrine during these rituals.
Each year, the relic casket is paraded through the streets during the Esala Perahera – a spectacular 10-day festival and one of the most important Buddhist celebrations in the world.
Best time to visit: Morning or evening during puja ceremonies.

Arthur’s Seat:
Arthur’s Seat is a popular lookout southwest of Kandy, located on Rajapihilla Mawatha at 550 m (1,800 ft) above sea level. It offers panoramic views of Kandy Lake, Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Royal Palace, and the city center. According to local folklore, a British tea planter named Mr. Arthur once stood on a stone seat under a tree at his bungalow to admire the city.
The site attracts around 1,500 visitors per day during peak season (November to May) and 500 per day in the off-season. In 2016, a new viewing platform was built—a 35 m × 5 m concrete deck with a symbolic seat made from the original rock slab—despite protests from the City’s Heritage Committee over the loss of the historic stone seat.
