The most convenient way for a tourist to get around Colombo is by tuk-tuk. It can go anywhere and is inexpensive.
To catch a tuk-tuk, simply raise your hand or use booking through apps (this is more reliable). Always agree on the price for the trip in advance and bargain confidently. Drivers often overcharge tourists. A short trip within one district should not cost more than 200-300 LKR. For long-distance trips (e.g., from the airport to the city), it is more advantageous to use taxi apps like PickMe or Uber, where the price is fixed in advance.
Public buses are very cheap but can be overcrowded and confusing for beginners.
