Sigiriya was established as the stronghold of a rogue king over 1,500 years ago, and today the Sigiriya complex stands as one of the earliest preserved examples of ancient urban planning. Ultimately the rock was unable to save its king, but it succeeded in preserving ancient Sinhalese culture.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6053996/35206e07-f299-432c-84b6-bf1cfd38c9ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Looks a little like Ayers rock, an ancient village was at the top, just amazing how people would have been able to do that may centuries ago!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6053996/b260b361-b9c6-4f70-ab83-78e149573873.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Getting there! 1.200 steps to top!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6053996/92a74020-9ea3-4544-b588-7f7354be44d1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Ancient City of Sigiriya Activities Reviews [Sigiriya travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya.dx6053996) --- --- ## Plan a trip to see Ancient City of Sigiriya Price found within the past 48 hours.

(75 reviews) The food at the restaurant was delicious and the staff were helpful and nice. The rooms were quite run down for the price. Our tv, kettle and multiple lights didn’t work and the bathroom was musty. Our laundry also came back with new stains on it. We stayed in a room with a plunge pool and it lacked privacy. There were no sheer curtains so we had to keep the curtains closed (which meant a dark room) for most of the stay because staff were always walking past our room or standing near it. I would recommend booking an upstairs room.

(5 reviews) Peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful beach & safe swimming. The Garden Villas were delightful & the staff genuinely friendly with good service standards. There is a lifeguard on duty who is both informative about sea conditions & the wildlife around. The birdlife is stunning. Only one small quibble in that the inner pool area could do with a bit of a clean.Other than that all good & would certainly recommend.
