A land of myth, legend, history and one of the richest cultures, Sri Lanka is one of the most fascinating places in the world to visit. Although small, from enormous dagobas and remains of ancient buildings in the ruined cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, to the awesome stairway to the temple at Dambulla and the sensual frescoes at the rock fortress of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka has 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites that must be visited as well as religious sites, numerous national parks, verdant tea estates and of course, seductive beaches.
