Colombo is a modern city with plenty of buzz but few 'must-see' sights. Its historical center is the colonial Fort, which combined with a visit to the hectic bazaar & Dutch period legacy of the Pettah area to its east, can make for an interesting walking tour. Most of the rest of the city's sights are spread out in the southern suburbs, where the attractive wide boulevards of Cinnamon Gardens, the city's most exclusive area, are a highlight.There are the city's principal park & museums, & perhaps even more enticing, sample some of the fare that is fast making Colombo one of the culinary capitals of Asia. Increasingly the heart of modern Colombo lies to the south of the old centre, where the city's wealthy young elite rub shoulders in the fashionable boutiques & restaurants of Kollupitiya & Bambalapitiya. Earlier bomb blasts were frequently done by LTTE terrorists in Colombo but now, government has blocked their activites remarkably well.
