West Coast
Colombo
The city everyone skips, and should not.
The commercial capital: Dutch warehouses turned restaurants, a Portuguese-era quarter and the best food on the island.
Every route we run through the west coast passes Colombo, and the question is never whether to include it but how many nights it earns. Our answer is 1 night — enough to see it at the hour it is worth seeing and still leave in daylight.
Tell a consultant which month you are coming and they will say plainly whether this is the right place for it, or whether the same days are better spent on the other coast.
