Transportation

Using the various means of transport in Sri Lanka, such as rail, bus and tuk tuk, are all much more exciting compared to the European variants. On these pages we will give you a little insight into the trips by bus, tuk tuk and railway.

Plane

From Germany it takes about ten hours by plane to Sri Lanka. As a rule, you fly from Germany via Dubai, the hub between East and West, to Colombo.
