e seen throughout the region which extends way beyond the city limits of Colombo.
Despite being a typical crowded and busy city landscape, only around 35% of the land area is built and in another perspective, Colombo and its surroundings qualify for being a green city as well. The region being a low lying wetland lends to many nature-based attractions in and around the city. Many initiatives have been taking place over the years to maintain these natural beauties in the region and as such, one can still enjoy the tranquillity and marvels of nature right in the city.
Being situated on the west coast, Colombo region has some astounding beaches for city life to come to a stand still on the weekend. Colombo does not have to be a pressure cooker or the business traveller as the weekend is a weekend in the city with many options to relax. Getting out of the cityscape is also easy for those who want to escape from it all within a matter of an hour or so. Colombo offers the discerning traveller a little bit of everything this island paradise has to give, from history to nature to beaches to fine cuisine to night life. |
