Wherever you settle in Colombo, getting away on a weekend vacation is no hassle at all. With options like Galle, Negombo, Pasikudah, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and more, a perfect weekend getaway is just a couple of hours away no matter which part of the country you reside in. After a week of slaving away at one of your much-loved jobs in the city, pack your bags and drive yourself to anyone these places for the weekend. Local buses are a good idea if you don't have your own a vehicle yet, as there are buses to almost every part of Sri Lanka.
