How to get around Jaffna?

You can get around Jaffna on foot, by tuk-tuk, bus, or rented transport. On foot is convenient for exploring the city center: walk to the fort, market, or main streets from the railway station or bus station.

For trips to distant places, such as beaches or attractions, it's better to use tuk-tuks. The cost of a short ride in the city starts from 200 rupees, and renting for a whole day will cost from 4000 rupees after bargaining. Tuk-tuks are not equipped with meters, so agree on the price in advance. To save money and for convenience, order tuk-tuks through the Uber or PickMe apps.

If you want to save money, use city buses. They run through the city and its surroundings, the fare depends on the distance and is paid to the conductor. Buses depart from the central bus station every 10-30 minutes.

For maximum freedom of movement, rent a bicycle (about 500 rupees per day) or a motorcycle (from 2500 rupees). Reliable rentals include SRI LANKA CLICK on Stanley Road and S.M.E. on Hospital Street. Make sure you have an international driver's license, although in practice it is rarely checked.
