Is Colombo clean and safe for walking at night.

The new Port City development area is also incredibly pristine featuring wide modern walkways. You will see many local families walking around late into the night enjoying the ocean breeze.

While the affluent areas like Colombo 07 and Fort are spotless you should avoid walking through the narrow crowded alleys of Pettah market very late at night as it gets completely deserted and quite dirty after the vendors close up.
