Beautiful Kandy

Welcome to Kandy, World Heritage city and in the heart of beautiful Sri Lanka. A city that takes its historical heritage seriously with the world famous Temple of the tooth relic, but also numerous other heritage buildings carefully maintained to reflect the variety of architecture and proudly displaying the World Heritage` plaques.
Stroll down some of the traffic-free pedestrian streets to safely enjoy shopping or to mingle with the locals. The spectacular Kandy Lake offers not only rowing boats for the public to hire but also a pond for children`s boats and model boats. The lake is also home to the Kandy sailing club and on most weekends brightly coloured sails on dinghies can be seen skimming across the water.. Take a leisurely stroll around the lake shaded by overhanging trees. Since the inception of the one-way traffic system around the lake, traffic moves smoothly even during the school travel hours and air pollution is at its lowest for many years. Take a break at one of several outdoor cafes on jetties over the side of the lake offering wonderful views and cooling breezes.
