Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.

Ibbanwala

Though Ibbanwala may not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Colombo City Centre and Chabad of Sri Lanka.

Ibbanwala
Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Hunupitiya might not have many top sights, but Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre are two attractions nearby that you can check out.
