Getting Around Southern Province

🚌 Transport in the Southern Province Region

Many tourists use hotel shuttles and transfers provided to get between the airport and hotels and to the different sites of interest. Whilst public transport, mainly in the form of local buses, is plentiful in Colombo, they can be overcrowded, slow and very hot! We would recommend that you use metered air-conditioned taxis where possible as these are readable available, safer to use and relatively cheap. If you’re after something more authentic, hail a trishaw or tuk-tuk and travel like the locals!

Passports and Visas

British citizens require a tourist visa to visit Sri Lanka and it is recommended to obtain these before travel. You will also need to have 6 months validity on your passport. For more information visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/sri-lanka/entry-requirements

Health and Safety

We highly recommend you have full travel and medical insurance for your holiday to Sri Lanka. For the latest health and safety information visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/sri-lanka/health Sri Lanka is generally a very safe country, but we would advise you to take precautions; try not to carry too much cash around and where possible use the safes at the hotels.

Vaccinations

Travellers to Sri Lanka should contact their local GP or Travel Clinic to obtain full advice on which vaccinations they will need (some may need Typhoid and/or Hepatitis B). All tourists should also make sure their routine jabs are up to date.
