Introduction
Known in the 1920's as the Garden City of The East, Colombo has been used as port since in the 8th Century. Today it is a city of contrasts, mixing historical monuments, temples and churches with modern hotels and trendy restaurants. Tree lined boulevards rub shoulders with gleaming new shopping centres and bustling street markets making for an eclectic, fascinating melting pot in this ancient port city that never disappoints.
