Kandy is one of Sri Lanka’s most enchanting cities. Set against a backdrop of forested hills, the terraced temples and palaces of the city’s picturesque old quarter are a delight to explore. The highlight is the Temple of the Tooth, home to a sacred relic of the Buddha. Wander the narrow streets, taking in the fragrant scents of jasmine and incense, and stop for a cup of tea in one of the many charming tea shops. In the evening, stroll along the banks of the Kandyan Lake, watching the locals paddle in their boats or practice their traditional dances.
