Car
If you're driving, start from the Colombo Fort area. Head south on Sirimavo Bandaranaike Mawatha, continue straight until you reach the junction with Galle Face. Turn left onto Galle Road (A2). Continue along Galle Road until you reach the roundabout at the Colombo Town Hall. From there, take the first exit onto Ward Place. Continue along Ward Place until you see the entrance to Viharamahadevi Park on your left. There is parking available near the entrance.
Public Transportation
To reach Viharamahadevi Park by bus, find a bus that goes to Colombo Fort or the Galle Face area. From Colombo Fort, take bus number 100, 101, or 121, which will take you to the nearest bus stop to the park. Get off at the Town Hall bus stop and walk along Ward Place for about 5 minutes. The entrance to the park will be on your left. Alternatively, you can take a three-wheeler (tuk-tuk) from your location directly to Viharamahadevi Park, which is a convenient option if you're unfamiliar with the bus routes.
