Fort
Fort is Colombo’s centuries-old powerhouse with a long and proud tradition of trade. This is where history was made in the past and where it’s made once again. The historic centre that was off-limits for a long time, is now undergoing a facelift, bringing back Fort’s vivacity and Old Cosmopolitan Grandeur. Fort is the heart and the soul of the city, Colombo’s #01 historic hotspot.

Happy New Year to our friends in Sri Lanka🎉 🇱🇰
In #Colombo? Go to any of the parks or head to Sea Street in #Pettah, join the party at the two fantastic coloured Hindu kovils and break a coconut, or two 💦
When in #Colombo, the crowded chaotic market bazaar #Pettah is a must-visit. We can’t help but be mesmerized by the skinny guys who make the place tick, the natami’s who literally carry the market’s weight on their narrow shoulders. We went to the Old Town Hall to have a chat with two of these local heroes and looked at the city through their lens. Check out latest blog - link in bio.
