From currency and getting around to colonial heritage, lakeside shrines, and vibrant street markets, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to Sri Lanka's oceanfront capital.

Language & Currency

Official language Sinhala, Tamil & English Sinhala and Tamil are official. English is widely used in business and spoken fluently across Colombo's shops, cafes, and hotels
Payments Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) Cards are standard in malls, hotels, and upscale dining. Carry physical cash for street food, local market stalls, and tuk-tuks
