A Day in COLOMBO, Sri Lanka: Ep. 65 of our Ultimate World Cruise

Join BZ Travel in Episode 65 of our Ultimate World Cruise as we step into the bustling cityscape of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Nestled on the western coast of the island, Colombo serves as a captivating blend of old-world charm and modern urban energy, all set against the backdrop of the serene Indian Ocean.
We begin our adventure in Colombo right from the commercial port, which, despite its industrial nature, is surprisingly close to the city center. With the tropical heat greeting us early in the morning, we set out to explore the city with a local tuk-tuk driver, eager to see as much as we can in the limited time we have ashore.
Our day is filled with spontaneous explorations, starting right outside the port where a lively array of tuk-tuk drivers offers us a gateway into the heart of Colombo. We navigate through the initial crowd of drivers, finding one who offers not just a ride but an engaging tour of the city. This local connection instantly enriches our visit, allowing us to dive deeper into the life of the city beyond the typical tourist paths.
As we zip through the streets, our driver, Sanji, showcases Colombo's vibrant markets, colonial architecture, and bustling street life. Each stop brings us closer to the daily rhythms of the locals, from sipping hot teas in small cafes to watching the city wake up to its busy day. Colombo's mix of cultural heritage and contemporary lifestyle makes every moment an exciting discovery.
Join us as we share these genuine, unscripted moments that capture the essence of traveling with BZ Travel-where the journey is about more than just the destinations, but the stories and connections we make along the way.

We were pleasantly surprised, planing a 2-3 months visit and exploring Sri Lanka (winter escape). There is so much to see.

What a great video. I am one of the types to be easily intimidated, if a crowd of drivers were all talking to me. I am learning from you all how you just maintain composure and confidence that it will work out. Tressa is right, get the haggling done, then look to get along! All the Best! Lisa

Beautiful - those parks looked so lush and cool in the heat. What a storm - that was amazing! Happy sailing to India!

I can just feel the heat and humidity as you’re in this part of the world. When we lived in that region the heat was no joke.
