Is it worth visiting?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Anuradhapura was my first official stop in Sri Lanka, and, to be honest, it didn't leave the best impression on me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's not a particularly large city, nor as chaotic as Colombo<\/a>, but I did find it quite humble, somewhat neglected, and without too many attractions within the urban area. Its quiet streets reflect a very simple local life, far from what one might expect from a city featured on so many travel itineraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, Anuradhapura fulfills a key function, which is to be a base for visiting the ancient holy city and the temples that surround it, which are the real reason why most travelers come here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post I'll tell you how to organize your visit, what to expect, and how to make the most of the experience without idealizing the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n
