One of the best ways to enjoy shopping in Sri Lanka and experience local culture is to explore some of the island’s top markets. Many of these are in the commercial capital, Colombo, including the famous Pettah Market which encompasses a bustling locale with all manner of shops and stalls offering great bargains. The Good Market near the Colombo Racecourse which focuses on organic produce and local products is worth heading to as is the Kala Pola Art Market beside Viharamahadevi Park; located within easy reach of rare Bar + Kitchen, this unique roadside market offers diverse paintings by local artists for sale. Of course, once done, you are bound to have worked up an appetite and you can easily find a restaurant in Colombo to satisfy any culinary cravings! Moving away from the city is where you will find two other well-known markets; on the west coast is the Negombo Fish Market and on the south coast, the Galle Fish Market, each providing fascinating insights into the livelihood of local fisherfolk.
