Colombo

Savvy travelers in Colombo, interested in finding out what makes the area tick, should head to the nearby museums and theaters. To catch home-grown and touring acts, book tickets to the Wire Opera House, one of the area’s premier performing arts venues.

When it’s time escape the city, plan a trip to the nearby green spaces. Take some time out to enjoy the sounds of children playing in local parks and gardens such as the Sao Lourenco Park and the Pedreira Paulo Leminski Park.

Major Antonio Couto Pereira Stadium is a great place to spend an afternoon enjoying soccer, and to see local legends, the Coritiba Foot Ball Club, in action. To fit in, be sure to wear green and white, the colors of the Coritiba Foot Ball Club.

Should you wish to base yourself in Colombo, book a room at the Hotel Estancia Santa Cruz.
