About Kandy City Centre

Kandy city centre wraps around the beautiful Kandy Lake, with the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) as its spiritual heart. This UNESCO World Heritage city is Sri Lanka's cultural capital, hosting the famous Esala Perahera festival annually. The city centre offers a mix of colonial-era buildings, modern shops, and the bustling Kandy Market. The cool hill-country climate (altitude 500m) is a welcome relief from Colombo's heat.
