One full day is generally enough to see all the major highlights of the Anuradhapura ancient city, provided you start very early in the morning and rent a bicycle or tuk tuk to move quickly between sites.

However, for the average tourist, a single day exploring the main stupas like Ruwanwelisaya and the Sri Maha Bodhi tree is perfectly sufficient before moving on to Sigiriya.

If you are deeply interested in history and archaeology, spreading the visit over two days allows you to explore the outer monasteries like Mihintale at a much more relaxed pace.
