• Colombo National Museum - Start your 5-hour private half-day Colombo City Tour with a convenient pickup from your centrally located Colombo hotel or Colombo Port. Your first destination is the Colombo National Museum. This museum, designed in an Italian provincial style, was established by the British governor of Ceylon at the time, Sir William Henry Gregory. It is Sri Lanka’s most prestigious, oldest, and largest museum.
• Independence Memorial Hall - Next, visit the Independence Memorial Hall. Sri Lanka achieved independence from the British on February 4, 1948. The Independence Memorial Hall in Colombo was constructed to commemorate this significant milestone in Sri Lankan history.
• Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall - Proceed to the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall. As the first convention center established in Asia, the BMICH is renowned for its high-quality conference facilities and personalized customer service. This multi-functional complex, consisting of four buildings, is a comprehensive event venue in Colombo, Sri Lanka, spanning approximately 37 acres of landscape.
• Independence Square - Explore Independence Square, one of the most beautiful places to relax in Colombo. In addition to the memorial hall, there is a vast green lawn, a memorial museum, the nearby Arcade, and even refreshments at Walkers’ Cafe.
• Seema Malakaya Temple - Continue to Beira Lake and Seema Malakaya Temple. This temple, built on platforms on Beira Lake, is arguably the most exquisite site in the area. It is a stunning and unique piece of art designed by Geoffrey Bawa and funded by S. H. Moosajee in the 1970s. The temple is divided into three elevated platforms connected by walkways, inspired by the temples of Anuradhapura. Monks are appointed here, and ceremonies like Poya Karma, where monks confess and seek forgiveness for wrongs done that month, are conducted here. The design reflects this purpose.
• Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple - Then, visit the Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple. Gangaramaya is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Colombo, founded by the renowned scholar monk Hikkaduwe Sri Sumangala Nayaka Thera in the late 19th century.
• Colombo Lighthouse - Finally, visit The Lighthouse. Although lesser-known, it is an equally fascinating attraction in Colombo. Built and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, the Lighthouse stands 12 meters high on a solid base and was constructed in 1952. Tourists and locals flock to the Lighthouse to relax in this tranquil spot and enjoy stunning views of the Indian Ocean.
