Experiences at Jetwing Colombo Seven

A vibrant fusion of old and new converges in Colombo, inspiring experiences aplenty for your stay in the city.

For a journey back in time, get lost in our island’s history and admire colonial-era architecture at the National Museum, Dutch Period Museum, Old City Hall, and Independence Memorial Hall. Our resident neighbourhood of Cinnamon Gardens and the central business district of Colombo Fort also serve as fantastic walks for any travellers, while the Old Parliament Building, Colombo Lighthouse, and Geoffrey Bawa House top off the lists of sights not to be missed here.

Religious excursions can also be arranged to sites of all faiths, each with their own stories to tell – including the Gangaramaya and Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya temples, the Captain Garden and New and Old Kathiresan kovils, the Jami-ul-Alfar mosque, as well as St. Lucia’s Cathedral, and St. Anthony’s and Wolvendaal Church.

Colombo also offers an abundance of shopping options including the harmoniously chaotic Pettah Market, or the more upscale Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct and Arcade Indepence Square. International brands are also sold at a number of locations including ODEL, Majestic City, Liberty Plaza, and Crescat Boulevard, while local souvenirs are best sourced from Barefoot, Lakpahana and Laksala.

Finally for recreation, the Viharamahadevi Park serves as the green lung of the city, while Galle Face Green, Mount Lavinia and Wellawatte Beach offer coastal leisure. And for a game of golf, the historic Royal Colombo Golf Club is not too far away either.
