Which areas of Colombo are better to choose for accommodation?

The choice of area depends on the purpose of the trip. If you have come to see the sights for 2-3 days, the optimal areas are Colombo Fort, Pettah or Galle Face — they are close to the main attractions, transport and restaurants. Pettah is also ideal for shopping, but be prepared for noise and bustle.

For beach holidays, choose Mount Lavinia — this is the only area of Colombo with a beach suitable for swimming. If you only need an overnight stay before departure, hotels near the airport or the city of Negombo are suitable, but keep in mind that the journey to the center from here will take 1-2 hours.

Budget hotels in Colombo are rare — a decent room costs from 40 dollars. Book in advance through Trip.com or Ostrovok.ru, and when searching on the spot, bargain — initial prices are often inflated.
