A perfect way to experience the blend of architecture and lush greeneryfrom ItalyFebruary 14, 2024The city is a perfect blend of modern architecture and lush greenery. I was able to ride along the coastline at Galle Face Green and admire the stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The cool sea breeze and the sound of the waves made the ride even more enjoyable. Many parks and gardens in the city are perfect for a quick stop and a break from cycling. I was able to explore the Viharamahadevi Park and Independence Square while on my bike. These green spaces provide a tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thank you Sri Lanka Day Tours for arranging this fabulous experience.Date of Experience: February 08, 2024
