Escape to Tranquility at Viharamahadevi Park

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are staying in Cinnamon Gardens, Viharamahadevi Park is easily accessible on foot. Begin by heading south on any main street towards Sirimavo Bandaranaike Mawatha, which is a major road in the area. Continue walking straight for about 10-15 minutes until you reach the park entrance, which is marked by large gates and lush greenery. Look for the park's main entrance located near the intersection with Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha.

• Public Bus

  For a more local experience, you can take a public bus. Locate the nearest bus stop on Sirimavo Bandaranaike Mawatha. Buses numbered 100, 101, or 102 frequently pass by. Board any of these buses heading towards Colombo Fort. The fare is approximately 20-30 LKR. After about 5-7 minutes, ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest stop to Viharamahadevi Park, which is generally well-known. From the bus stop, the park entrance is just a short 5-minute walk.

• Tuk-Tuk

  If you prefer a quicker option, you can hire a tuk-tuk. Look for a tuk-tuk stand nearby or use a ride-hailing app. The fare should typically cost around 150-300 LKR depending on your starting point in Cinnamon Gardens. Specify 'Viharamahadevi Park' to the driver. The ride will take about 5-10 minutes depending on traffic and will drop you off right at the park entrance.
