This balmy island off the coast of India is called on by only a few ships. Tourists will sense the Oriental spirit behind the colonial architecture. The primary excursions here visit Victoria Park, the President's Palace, the Colombo Museum and the shrine at Kelaniya. Trips through the tea plantation area where Buddha's tooth is displayed are also popular.
