The capital of the Hill Country of Sri Lanka is the historic city of Sri Lanka. Kandy is most notable for being the capital of the last Sinhala Kingdom before the Sri Lanka was colonized, and therefore it is home to many archeological and historic sites, including the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. Kandy is also known for its unique cultural attractions and amazing natural beauty. One of the most tranquil and serene bungalows in Kandy is the Mountbatten Bungalow which offers a memorable holiday.

Kandy is visited mostly for its history and culture. But the City also offers a few shopping options, chief amongst which is the Kandy City Centre. The Kandy City Centre is multi-purpose shopping and retail centre which boasts a reputation of being Kandy’s premier shopping destination.
