There are lots of amazing sites to see around Colombo, including the Lotus Tower, Pettah Markets, Port City (water sports, shopping, restaurants), Mount Lavinia beach, Galle Face Green, Independence Square, Gangaramaya Temple, Red Mosque and lots more!
Local transport is easily accessible from Colombo, so you can also take trips to other parts of Sri Lanka during your free time.
If you're also working at our Galle site on the south coast of Sri Lanka, you'll have lots of beach towns on your doorstep to explore, as well as Galle Fort, Sri Lanka's famous World Heritage Site.
