How to Reach National Museum

It is important to know how to reach National Museum for all tourists looking forward to a trip to this monument. This museum is an important reminder of Ceylonese history in the Dutch Colonial era and a very frequently visited tourist spot.

Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka is a one hour drive away from Colombo Dutch Museum. The distance of thirty kilometers is a breeze and it is worth knowing how to reach National Museum from Bandaranaike International Airport. The easiest way is definitely to take E03 Highway and follow it straight past Ragama and Peliyagoda to reach the monument. But this route has tolls along its course. A faster route might be to take E03 Highway and then peel off to Canal Road and follow it straight to the mansion. Popular traveling options include Tuk-Tuk rides and cabs.

A similar approach to how to reach National Museum from Colombo Harbor, which is the closest harbor to town, is applicable. The best route is to take AC6 Highway, but its use is restricted. A smarter route might be to take Colombo Port Main Road to AC20 and then move onto Darley Road via AC6. This thirty-minute journey (by car) is roughly eight and a half kilometers away from Colombo Harbor.  

Another solution to how to reach National Museum is to take a train to Fort Railway station and take a cab. The common routes include AC6, A2, and A4 Highways. The Tuk-tuk rides are particularly famous here and offer city-wide tour packages.

Charan's 7 days trip to Colombo

We have been TravelTriangeling since last 4 trips abroad. That's because of its vast network of service providers. Srilanka was planned 3 yrs back, but the economic crises there held us from moving on. It happened again and we do carry great memories from this trip. The agency Romano Lanka and its coordinator Mrs Minasha was were very helpful. Though, we gave them though time planning and re-planning again and again,.she didn't budge and planned well. My suggestion to future travellers. Never hold back from tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, they are always best available in very local and not so fancy restaurants. Our village safari was where we tasted the best food. Thanks to the old ladies there for their expertise. It would be very convenient if the travel planners include the entry fees for every visiting places, each and every visiting places mandatorily charge entry fees. Paying every time feels very costly. The season we visited was pre monsoon, but thank god it didn't effect our trip. Thanks to TT and Minasha Cultural dance at Kandy was hair raising. Spice garden, Cave temple, Sigaria rock, Sacred tooth relic and the beaches were just awesome and enchanted.

Vinayak's 8 days trip to Colombo

We group of 12 friends and family visited Srilanka through Yalla Travel where Mr Fazan helped a lot and made our vacation wonderful. We got personalized vacation plan , got very clean bus with skilled English speaking driver and a tour guide. Overall everyone of us is happy with Yalla Travel and services offered. During the safari - Local vendor messed up the plan ( this could have been better if trusted vendors communicated in advance time)
