Colombo is known as the Commercial capital of Sri Lanka. It is home to many high end shopping malls, fancy restaurants, green hide outs, gaming zones and Colombo hotels such as the Berjaya Hotel Colombo among several others. After a round tour around the country, you can end your journey in Colombo by visiting some of the ancient infrastructure and going on a shopping spree. Majestic city is the local hot spot for a one stop shopping experience. The mall has outlets that sell goods that vary from electronic items, apparel, shoes and CD’s to food items. There are vast ranges of food choices at the food court inside the mall. The kid’s zone will keep the little ones occupied until the parents finish their shopping. Yet it is required that at least one adult assist the kids.

Many tourists are found to walk into the popular Odel outlet located at Town Hall. Odel has a very unique atmosphere that attracts many locals and internationals but it is more of a high end shopping experience. The coffee shop, muffins stall and foot spa located in the mall itself will allow you to take a break and relax during hectic last minute shopping. Odel is where you can purchase branded perfumes, clothes and many local handicrafts to take back as a souvenir.
The Dilmah tea outlet is where the best tea leaves can be purchased from. There are different flavors of tea available. Make sure not to get lost in the glamorous atmosphere of the Colombo jewelry stores. During the time of Thaipongal in January, there are special discounts on sarees and other clothes at stores such as Ranjanas, No Limit and Fashion Bug.
