Kandy Essentials

Kandy, the last capital of the ancient kings, centers around the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic and the 19th-century Kandy Lake. This cultural hub features the Royal Palace complex and the International Buddhist Museum, set within former administrative buildings. Landmarks like the Bahirawakanda Buddha statue and Arthur’s Seat offer vantage points over the mist-covered valley, while the municipal market and Kandyan Art Association showcase the city's living traditions in trade and performance.
