Places of visit
• Temple of the tooth and museum

The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa is a sacred place of worship for Buddhists as it is believed to hold the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha. The city is believed to have been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, mostly due to the significance of the temple. The temple was built within the complex of the royal palace, as it was believed that whoever holds the sacred tooth relic has to hold the governance of the country.
• Kandy Lake

Kandy Lake ushers in cool winds from the surrounding mountains to the busy streets. This man-made lake is built right opposite the temple complex. It was said that the king built this lake with a secret tunnel that passes through the palace. You can walk around the lake or enjoy a scenic boat ride from one end to the other.
• Botanical Garden Peradeniya

The Royal Botanical gardens in Peradeniya were once believed to be used as a secret, private garden for the royal family.
