Things to do in Panadura

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the museum. This is a large square. It is said that it was the place where independence celebrations were held. It has good greening and is very suitable. Take a walk here at dusk.

If you want to learn about the history of Sri Lanka this is a great place to start. The museum shows pre-historic finds and the earliest civilization of Sri Lanka as well as the Colonial era and the history or resistance to those colonial powers. As a history teacher I really enjoyed the museum.

Le symbole de Piliyandala, parmi les plus hauts en Asie, mais est assez récent (construit en 1952).

It is a building funded by China, which makes it very familiar. It is located in the center of Colombo, with a very high-quality design. There is also a large square in front of it, with a high green coverage rate. However, you cannot go inside, you can only look at the exterior.

Gala Face Beach 🏖️: Stunning views and serene waters! Must visit place in Srilanka

Monte Lavinia Beach is a very famous beach in Colombo. It has a long coastline, clear water, wide and clean beaches, and comfortable sand, attracting many tourists.

I visited this small Buddhist temple with a local. It is a very special place with a 104 year old monk living there. The temple has many pieces that were returned to Sri Lanka after different conflicts. Well worth a look. We were staying in Colombo for some time and came across this attraction and saw the magnificent temple. The setting is very beautiful and peaceful, with wonderful views and solitary style. We really enjoyed looking at the things that were left here from many years ago, including some old British cars. You occasionally feel like you are wandering around in a surreal bric-a-brac market, with old glasses and all kinds of jewelry everywhere. My personal favorite was the small Buddha statue, which was placed in a miniature glass dome, and his face could be clearly seen through a magnifying glass.
