The cultural capital of Sri Lanka is home to the famous Temple of the Tooth and also the country's most important festival: the Esala Perahera, held annually in July/August. The surrounding hills and tea plantations, the lake at the center and the old Kandyan and colonial buildings make Kandy a favorite among travelers.

Galle sits on a promontory overlooking the Indian Ocean. Its fort, built by Dutch colonists in the 17th century, is the city's main attraction.
