Colombo is the capital city and arguably the best known attraction in the country. Colombo  is also modern in every sense of the word with array of giant cranes showing the development fever in the city. As the most populous city of Sri Lanka there is no end to the breath-taking sites visitors can see in Colombo . The city has been a thriving metropolis with high rise buildings, numerous specialty shops, boutiques and colorful markets. The   iconic Independence Memorial Hall, located at the Independence Square, is one of the highest-esteemed attractions in the city of Colombo.  Of those the most exotic popular places-of-interest in the city other than Independence Square, are the Galle Face Green, a long stretch of lawn facing the Indian Ocean in the heart of the financial and business district of Colombo, that attracts many  visitors every day. Apart from that tourist can see, Vihara Maha Devi Park earlier known as the Victoria Park, Sri Lanka National Museum, and the Beira Lake in the center of the capital city.
