Colombo transport

Can anyone advise on the cost of taxi from the airport to a hotel in the city center? Know of the stand at the airport, but wondering the price.

Also, we are continuing on to Tangalla the next day. Is the a/c bus the best bet? Or train? Or shared car?

And which is better for cash, ATM w/drawal or cash exchange?

Thanks!

Hi there,

1) About Rs 2,000-2,500 depending on the place of the hotel.

2) Depends on your luggage. The AC bus can handle at most a backpack and even then you%26#39;d often pay for an extra seat. If bigger luggage, then train to Matara and after that car or local bus.

3) ATM gives a better rate for sure. Have some cash for emergencies.

Have fun,
