Hotels in Colombo District, Sri Lanka
Colombo District, on Sri Lanka's west coast, has a warm tropical climate with temperatures averaging around 80°F (27°C) year-round, famous for its mix of colonial-era buildings in the Fort area and the chaotic Pettah market where you can haggle for spices and textiles. The dry season from December to March is perfect for strolling along Galle Face Green or swimming at Mount Lavinia Beach, while the wetter months from May to August offer cheaper hotel rates and a chance to explore indoor spots like the National Museum or Gangaramaya Temple's Buddhist relics.
