Colombo is where Sri Lanka goes out properly. A wave of rooftop bars, lounges and clubs has grown alongside new hotels and towers, giving the capital a genuine night-out scene.

Up high

Rooftop bars with skyline and ocean views are the signature Colombo night out, best at sunset before the crowd builds.

Later on

The city has clubs and late lounges, mostly clustered around the bigger hotels and the Fort and Colombo 3 areas.

Good to know

Dress smart for rooftop venues, and remember Poya (full moon) days are dry days across the country.
