The largest city and commercial capital of Sri Lanka is Colombo. Colombo is a magnificent city with a combination of modern life, colonial buildings and ruins. Due to its large harbour and its position on the East-West maritime trade routes Colombo was very popular among the ancient merchants 2000 years ago. Colombo has many Sri Lankan company offices, restaurants and entertainment venues. Famous landmarks in Colombo include the National Museum, the World Trade Center, ViharaMahaDevi Park and Galle Face Green. The name ‘Colombo'’, first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be derived from the ancient Sinhalese word Kolon thota, meaning "port on the Kelani River'.

It has also been suggested that the name be derived from the Sinhalese word Kola-amba-thota which means "Port with mango trees with leaves". However, it is also possible that the Portuguese named the city after Christopher Columbus. Colombo's temperate climate is year-round with an average of about 31 degrees. Colombo is a multicultural city. Colombo's population is made up of many ethnic groups, particularly the Sinhalese, the Moors, and the Tamil.
