Check in to the hotel

Settle into your Colombo city hotel before heading out to explore.

Classic-car city tour of Colombo

Amid Colombo's rapid development, pockets of colonial architecture, layered history, and street-level authenticity still survive. A vintage open-top car, often a lovingly restored Morris Minor, collects you for a slow cruise through suburbs and the Fort district, Pettah's markets, and seaside boulevards. Expect the sights, sounds, and flavours of a cosmopolitan capital that rewards unhurried discovery.

Overnight in Colombo
