A trip to Sri Lanka is not complete without a visit to the sacred city of Anuradhapura. Not only is the city of Anuradhapura is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its numerous historic Buddhist temples and stupas, it is also a sacred city for many Sri Lankans and Buddhists.
The Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigiriya Rock Fortress are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that a visitor to Sri Lanka should not miss since they provide valuable insights into Sri Lankan history, culture, and religious practice.
Sri Lanka is a beautiful and unique country where one can easily spend a lot of time exploring all of its treasures. When a visitor comes to Colombo, while there are many sites to see in the city, Gangaramaya and Seema Malaka are two must-see Buddhist temples during a visit.
Even though Americans do not qualify for visa-free entry into Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan government has made getting an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) extremely easy and straightforward. The whole application process takes about 10-15 minutes, and the entire process can be done online for a modest fee.
