Sri Lanka, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean offers a unique travel destination for tourists. While many may think Sri Lanka is only suitable for a beach vacation, that is not technically true. This tiny island contains everything from beaches to cultural sights to national parks. Therefore, there is something to suit everyone’s fancy. But, when there are so many sights to explore, it can be a bit challenging to figure out how to plan your itinerary. Thus, that is where this article comes in as it will reveal how one can explore the island within one week.
Day One and Two
After travelling for hours, one of the best things travellers can do is recuperate. Therefore, make sure to book yourself into one of the hotels in Sri Lanka on your first day. After a good rest, you can begin your vacation by exploring the city of Colombo. Whether it’s museums, shopping malls or street food, Colombo has much to keep you occupied.
Day Three
After exploring Colombo, one can venture to a property offered by the likes of Amagi Hotels to enjoy the city of Negombo. Located in proximity to Colombo, this can be one’s first stop before travelling around the island.
Day Four and Five
By beginning the day before dawn, travellers can drive to Anuradhapura before mid-day. Known for their religious and historical sites, the cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa offer ample opportunities for a two-day exploration.
Day Six and Seven
After exploring the ruins of the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, venture down towards Nuwara Eliya. This quaint city located in the hills of Sri Lanka can be the perfect end to your vacation before you drive to Colombo to catch your flight.
