Colombo Cinnamon Gardens

Once a cinnamon plantation, this gloriously leafy neighbourhood is the city’s playground and green lifestyle hub. Colombo locals love to gather at the many cricket pitches, go for a jog in the park or a picnic under the giant banyan trees. Along the wide boulevards you find the major monuments, museums and embassies but also some of the city’s leading art galleries, most innovative eateries, and one-of-a-kind shops.
