ICC Cricket World Cup 2011
Colombo is a town of tangible contrasts. Having been colonised successively by the Portuguese, Dutch and British, it has a number of architecture. Almost as varied would be the many temples and churches that are a testimony towards the religious diversity from the island.
The hubbub of steamy Pettah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with market vendors vying loudly for trade, are a world apart from the rarefied atmosphere of the huge whitewashed houses of Colombo 7. Weaving together the varied facets of the town would be the ubiquitous tuk-tuks, which swerve around buses and cars with complete nonchalance.
As laidback and easygoing as this city is, it's strict about observing Buddhist holidays. Poya days, which celebrate the entire moon, are close-down public holidays (on September 29) - if you need your drink, make sure to stock up in advance, as no alcohol is served on nowadays. That's the case with the R Premadasa Stadium too, where local beer can be obtained on other days. So as you can eat the short eats and sip sodas, you will need to respect the hosts' sentiments and stay away from alcohol. It's the least it's possible to do to reciprocate the warmth and hospitality every Sri Lankan will extend to the foreign cricket fan.
Colombo is choc-a-bloc with tuk-tuks. Find a driver you prefer and stay with him. Expect to pay about Rs 50 per km. Going to the Premadasa Stadium, in the north-eastern part of the city, shouldn't are more expensive than Rs 500 from any kind of town. Tip between Rs 20 and Rs 50 if you are pleased with the service.
Metered tuk-tuks are available. The very first kilometre costs Rs 50, and each successive one Rs 32. Waiting charges are Rs 90 each hour. The rates for that new Nano mini-cabs are the same. Should you hire a tuk-tuk without a meter, make sure you negotiate a price first.
If you want an air-conditioned taxi, Kangaroo Cabs or Ace Cabs are reliable options.
Unfortunately there are no hotels within the densely populated area immediately around the Premadasa Stadium. But with the exception of these two hotels in Mount Lavinia (around 16km away), the following are all within 8km of the ground.
High-end The Galle Face Hotel (from about Rs 26,000) is really a beautiful colonial hotel, perfect to watch the sun permeate the Indian Ocean from. There's a lovely salt-water pool next to the ocean. Anilana Park Street Hotel (from Rs 28,500) is a stunning boutique hotel that oozes style and class, housed in a colonial bungalow. Casa Colombo is dubbed retro chic - 12 suites in a gaudily transformed 200-year-old mansion, tucked down a cul-de-sac from the Galle Road (from about Rs 26,000).
