Renting a bicycle is absolutely the best way to explore the Polonnaruwa ancient city. The archaeological site is vast, flat, and connected by shaded dirt paths.

For Anuradhapura, renting a bicycle is also great, but the site is much more spread out than Polonnaruwa. If you are not very fit, hiring a tuk tuk driver for the day is a better option.

If you do cycle, start your tour very early in the morning. The ruins have very little shade, and the midday sun makes cycling quite exhausting.
