9. Roam the Streets and City Centre
Kandy city is very walkable. The locals on the side of the road are very interested in chatting with you and will always ask where you’re from. The moment we say “Australia” the next response is “Ah, cricket!”. We can’t break their hearts by telling them we’ve never watched a cricket game in our lives but nevertheless, they are very keen to have a chat.
The city centre shopping mall is a commercial and shopping complex in the centre of town. This 10 story building has a variety of stores from souvenirs to electronic, clothes and shoes as well as a food court. It is one of the only shopping malls in Kandy and a nice place to escape the heat. Cost: Free. Unless of course, you go shopping ;).
10. Visit one of the many Museums
Kandy is a very cultural city so why not spend an afternoon visiting one of the many museums it has to offer. The 2 most popular are the World Buddhist Museum and the Ceylon Tea Museum. The World Buddhist Museum is the only museum which demonstrates the expansion of Buddhism all around the world. Your ticket to the Temple of the Tooth will allow free entry into the Buddhist Museum.
