Colombo 05 Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

In the picture is a Sweet Croffle. A must try at Plus Nine Four. Cool Fact: Plus Nine Four focuses on incorporating Sri Lankan flavours into their items and was named after our country code, +94! Walking into Plus Nine Four, I felt right at home! It had a very homely atmosphere, and there are a few tables outside and a few inside, so you can sit where you prefer. The service was fantastic since within a minute of taking my seat, I was brought a menu. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, going to great lengths to cater to our needs. #TroverFoodies

This is a stadium which has a run down building with a theatre style stage with torn curtains. Right in front of the hall is this Bamboo Tree/ Bush, which gives a serene feel to the somewhat busy location.

Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.
