UNESCO tour

world heritage sites in 8 days

Sri Lanka is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, six of which are part of the cultural sites and two of which are part of the natural sites, all settled in the smallest spaces. Our UNESCO round trip allows you to see all of them in just 8 days. 

This offer includes rides on an air-conditioned minibus or a limousine, a reliable English-speaking driver/guide (or German-speaking, upon request, depending on availability), the entrance fees for the listed places we are visiting as well as overnight stays in middle class hotels including breakfast.

If you prefer to stay in higher- or lower-class hotels, want to skip or exchange a step of the trip or want to extent your stay for one or two nights at one of the locations, we will gladly adapt the journey to your individual needs.

The trip listed below starts in Colombo. It is also possible to start the journey in Galle and proceed in reversed order.
