Explore Colombo’s bustling markets and historic landmarks.
Your tour starts at the Old Dutch Hospital where you will meet your guide and other travellers taking part in the tour. Colombo’s Fort area is home to some of the city’s most historic buildings.
After exploring the Fort, your tour continues in neighbouring Pettah, the largest wholesale market in the country, which sells everything imaginable from electronics and haberdashery, to spices and locally grown fruit and vegetables.
The market is chaotic from dawn until dusk, and your guide will lead you down the most interesting streets, and if there’s time, to some of the area’s hidden gems such as the Red Mosque and the Dutch Period Museum.
Walking tours are the best way to experience Colombo and learn about its intriguing colonial history. Each tour is customisable, so you could choose just to focus on the Fort or Pettah Market, rather than a combination of both.
