Colombo taxi

Western Province

Colombo is Sri Lanka's commercial capital, a busy port city where colonial buildings, street markets and modern towers sit side by side.

Traffic is heavy at peak hours, so allow extra time for airport journeys in and out of the city. Most guests reach Colombo from Colombo airport (CMB).
