Top things to do in Kandy for a family trip.
2 Answers from travellers
Besides the sacred Temple of the Tooth, the top things to do in Kandy include a peaceful morning walk around Kandy Lake and a visit to the spectacular Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya. You should also watch a traditional Kandyan cultural dance show in the evening.
Families will also love visiting the Ceylon Tea Museum nearby. You get a fascinating guided tour of the vintage machinery and can enjoy a fresh cup of tea overlooking the beautiful green valleys.
Scam Watch: kandy
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
