Unconquered for centuries, this capital city held the Sinhalese culture and sacred Buddhist relics safe against the unsuccessful onslaught of Dutch and Portuguese invasions, before finally falling to British political tricks at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Walking around this picturesque city is a beautiful experience in itself. With your guide, you’ll enjoy a sightseeing tour of the UNSECO world heritage city of Kandy, and gain fascinating insights into the history and culture that made Kandy a bastion of security. Amongst other fascinating sights, Kandy is the home of The Temple of the Tooth Relic, one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. You’ll end the city tour at the Queen’s Hotel for a cup of tea, which is where the Queen of England used to reside when in Kandy.
