🌍 About Colombo
Colombo isn't a postcard city — it's Sri Lanka's working capital, and the point is the food. Head to Galle Face Green, the seafront promenade, at dusk when the kite-flyers clear out and the vendors fire up their griddles: order isso wade, deep-fried prawn fritters loaded with chili and curry leaves, eaten standing up with a squeeze of lime. The other thing to try is kottu — roti chopped and stir-fried with egg, vegetables and spice on a metal plate, so loud the rhythmic clanging is how you find the stalls. Skip the malls; wander Pettah, the dense market quarter behind the port, instead. Come January to March for dry, sunny days — it's also the priciest stretch. Avoid May to September, when the southwest monsoon brings heavy rain.
