Colombo is the commercial capital and largest city of Sri Lanka, a port on the island's west coast that grew under Portuguese, Dutch and British rule and now mixes colonial buildings, Buddhist temples and new towers. Visit Gangaramaya Temple beside Beira Lake, see the Colombo National Museum and Independence Memorial Hall at Independence Square, climb the Lotus Tower, haggle in Pettah Market and watch the sunset from Galle Face Green.
