Walking The Streets Of Old Colombo | History, Heritage & Local Flavours

In this vlog, we’re walking through the heart of old Colombo. We’ll step past the modern skyline to explore its history, meet the people who define its character, and delve into a rich tapestry of cultures and culinary influences. Along the way, we’ll savour its honest flavours and make new friends. While our first vlog was a 48-hour soak in the city’s most luxurious destinations, this one is about the soul of the city. I caught up with Mark Forbes of Colombo City Walks to take me through the Colombo Fort and Pettah market area. Mark provides a fascinating insight into the history, culture, and character of this historic precinct. Of course, there was plenty of food to taste along the way—from street-side nibbles to a more sumptuous Jaffna-style brunch at the legendary Mayura. This vlog captures the true essence of an Old Colombo culture and food walk. Let’s go. Kripal Amanna If you found this vlog interesting, you may like our first vlog in this series too.
