The island front door, and worth more than a night.
Most itineraries treat Colombo as an airport transfer. We think that is a mistake. The city has changed enormously in the past decade, and it now holds the island most interesting food, its best contemporary galleries, and a street life that is genuinely absorbing.
Start in the Pettah market, walk the Dutch Hospital precinct, and end on Galle Face Green at dusk with an isso wade from a cart.
Give it a day at the start or the end of your trip. It will change how you read everything else.
