More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide into the bench seat of a 1956 Morris Minor split-screen wagon and the city changes pace: sea spray brushes the grille as the car hums down tree-lined avenues toward the ocean. The driver steers past colonial facades and the wide expanse of Galle Face Green, where the Indian Ocean dares the promenade and kites tug at the wind.
