What to see, the sights of Colombo ...
1. Galle Face Green.
A place for an evening promenade of citizens.
By the light of lanterns, there is a trade in sweets, nuts, fruits.
In the afternoon on the embankment you can see trained monkeys and cobra dancing to the caster’s tune.
On the building of the hotel of the same name, on the very shore, there is a sign saying that it was built in the same year when Marx wrote “Capital”. 2. Market Petta.
A whole quarter of the market, motley and noisy, with all the attributes of reckless retail.
The streets in Petta (from Tamil pettai - "village") are divided by product groups.
On Front Street look for bags, suitcases and shoes, on 3st Cross Street for the most beautiful fabrics, on 4th Cross Street for spices.
There are many vegetarian restaurants in the Petta area. 3. Buddhist temples.
The two most interesting shrines in the city are Sima Malaka, the work of the famous Sri Lankan architect Jeffrey Bava, and the ancient Gangaramaya Temple.
Sima Malaka is built on the money of a Muslim who quarreled with fellow believers.
And in Gangaramaye there is a collection ... of old cars donated by believers. 4. The island of Slaves.
Here lived the slaves who built houses for the colonialists.
Small streets, ragged, but picturesque houses.
Walk along Malay Street, on both sides of which trays of flower and fruit merchants, mosques, and tiny cafes huddle together.
On the Island of Slaves is one of the most beautiful Hindu temples of Colombo - Sri Subramania Covil. 5. Laxala.
The three-story department store is an ideal place to buy souvenirs on the last day to all friends and relatives.
It sells products from all over Sri Lanka, and you can be sure that you really get products from local craftsmen.
In “Laxalle” you can buy cheap wooden figurines, and an expensive necklace with sapphires.
