Colombo trip guide

Colombo is usually a transit point, and it's best to visit it on the last day. When traveling in a counterclockwise direction, the last day's route is typically from Galle to Colombo, and you can also check out the seaside train along the way. 🚞 Seaview Train There's no need to take the whole journey; the most classic section is from Mount Lavinia to Kollupitiya, which is about 20 minutes and covers 4 stations. The ticket costs only 40 cents. The station will have signs indicating the next train's departure time, but it often runs late. 🏨 National Museum of Colombo To understand the history of Sri Lanka, the museum houses various cultural relics. The information is all in English, which might be a bit hard to understand, and the reading speed is slow. Mainly, there's no air conditioning, so it can be a bit hot. The entrance fee is 1500 rupees. 🍵t-Lounge by Dilmah When it's hot, go and check out the milk tea at this Dilmah brand tea shop. It's both visually appealing and delicious. It closes at 7 pm, so it's worth visiting in the afternoon. It's close to the Ministry of Crab. You can find it by searching for "lounge by Dilmah – Chatham Street" on Google. #Colombo#National Museum of Colombo #t-Lounge by Dilmah#trip diary
