Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle plots a vaguely triangular expanse between three key historical Sri Lankan centres. All are equally worthy of a visit and are relatively easy to travel between. Located in central Sri Lanka, this region is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites. It’s a fascinating place to immerse yourself in the country’s history, and the best place in Sri Lanka to learn more!

The region covers Sri Lanka’s most famous cultural and archaeological sites – some dating back 2,500 years and containing the remains of the Sinhalese civilisation, which grew through the centuries under the influence of Buddhism.

If historic and religious sites spark your interest, make sure you take a tour of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle! These include the ancient Cultural Triangle cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. All are equally worthy of a visit and are relatively easy to travel between. Then there is the epic ancient city of Kandy. It is part of the Cultural Triangle.
