Shopping
Cinnamon Gardens is the best place for upmarket shops, but there are shopping centres all over town. For local produce, the Pettah Bazaar is the place to go.
If big shopping malls are what you are after, try Crescat Boulevard, 89 Galle Road, Colombo 3, an upmarket shopping centre complete with food court, or Majestic City, Galle Road (near Bambalapitiya), a large mall, with fashion stores as well as a cinema, supermarket and many restaurants.
For the finest Sri Lankan tea, head for Tea Tang (tel: (011) 244 6214; website: www.teatang.com) which have various outlets, including Liberty Plaza and Galle Face Court. For local handicrafts and gifts, Odel , 5 Alexandra Place, Lipton Circus, Colombo 7 (tel: (011) 472 2723) is a good bet.
