Colombo Fort Railway Station
Other3.9 · 5 594≈ 20 minFree entry
Colombo's main railway station in the busy Fort district. Trains fan out across Sri Lanka from here: to Kandy, Galle, Batticaloa in the east and Jaffna in the north, plus a dense web of suburban services. Inside are long-distance ticket counters, waiting halls and platforms that stay busy around the clock. In high season it is wise to buy tickets for popular routes in advance, as seats sell out quickly.
Highlights
- Gateway for trains to Kandy, Galle and Jaffna
- Suburban services and long-distance ticket counters
- Colonial-era building in the heart of Fort
- Buy tickets for popular routes ahead in high season
