About

Choose National Railway Museum for local business in Sri Lanka. It sits at 7G5C+28W, A1, Kadugannawa, a town on the Colombo-Kandy road in the island's central hills.

The museum covers the island's railway heritage, the kind of collection that appeals to visitors interested in locomotives, rolling stock and the history of the line. First-time visitors can expect an indoor and outdoor display of railway equipment rather than a working station. A rating of 4.4 out of 5, taken from 561 reviews, places it among the more reviewed museum attractions on the island. Five photos show part of the collection, and the website at railway.gov.lk carries official information.

Colombo, Kandy and Galle are the main towns travellers combine with a stop here.

Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers are common for short trips, and traffic drives on the left. Coconut, sambol and curry leaves flavour local cooking, and Ceylon tea comes from the central highlands. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, with English widely used in administration and tourism. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays.
