DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Sri Lanka

A wealth of history, culture, and natural beauty awaits in Sri Lanka, an island nation located just off India's southern coast. This new first-edition DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Sri Lanka delivers the full DK Eyewitness Travel Guides treatment — including the famous cutaway illustrations of major architectural and historic sights, museum floor plans, and maps.

Suggested itineraries highlight must-see sights and help travelers plan trips by length of stay, including a two-week tour, one week in the Cultural Triangle and the Hill Country, and two days in the capital, Colombo.

DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Sri Lanka is organized with maps and historical overviews for each region: Colombo, The West Coast, The South, Kandy and the Hill Country, The Cultural Triangle, The East, Jaffna and the North. Neighborhood walking maps indicate key sights not to miss, and the detailed maps for Colombo include a street finder index. Hotels and restaurant listings include DK Choice special recommendations and an array of options for all budget levels — from boutique hideaways to lower-priced but high-value accommodations, family-run cafes and traditional cuisine to fine-dining.

With hundreds of full-color photographs, hand-drawn illustrations, and custom maps that illuminate every page, DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Sri Lanka truly shows this destination as no one else can.
