Colombo might seem like just another chaotic city, but trust me, it's got way more to offer than just traffic jams and busy streets. For the backpacker or solo traveler, Colombo is a treasure hunt with some seriously cool finds. First off, ditch the idea that the streets are busy. They’re alive! And let me tell you that weekends aren't busy at all!! Wandering around, you’ll stumble upon colorful markets, like Pettah, where you can get lost in a maze of spices, trinkets, and random bargains. It's chaotic, but in the best way possible, perfect for snapping some gritty, authentic travel photos. If you’re into history, Colombo's got you covered. Check out the colonial vibes at Independence Square or the old Dutch Hospital, now buzzing with cafes and shops. And don’t miss Gangaramaya Temple, it's a mashup of all things Buddhist with a side of quirkiness. When you need to catch your breath, hit up Galle Face Green. Grab some street food (isso wade is a must-try), find a spot on the grass, and watch the sunset over the ocean. It’s one of those moments that makes all the hustle worth it. Oh maybe hope on a train to watch the sunset while moving. The best part? Colombo’s a city where you can easily blend in, do your own thing, and still find surprises around every corner. So yeah, it’s worth a stop but it could also be your least favorite city!!? Anyhoo, add these spots to your Google Map, and you’re set for an awesome urban exploration!
