A quali truffe dovrei fare attenzione?
- Tuk-tuk drivers taking you to gem shops or spice gardens for commission — decline firmly.
- Fake tour guides at temples offering unsolicited tours then demanding payment.
- Overcharging tourists at markets — bargain politely but firmly.
- Hotels or guesthouses not matching online photos — book through reputable platforms.
Quali precauzioni sanitarie sono consigliate?
- Drink bottled water. Food is generally safe — Sri Lankan cuisine is delicious and well-cooked.
- Mosquito protection important — dengue is present, especially during rainy seasons.
- Good hospitals in Colombo and Kandy. Rural areas have limited facilities.
Quali vaccinazioni sono obbligatorie?
- Hepatitis A and Typhoid recommended.
- Hepatitis B and Rabies for extended stays (stray dogs are common).
- Routine vaccines up to date.
L'acqua del rubinetto è potabile?
Do not drink tap water. Bottled water is widely available and cheap. King coconut water is a safe and delicious alternative.
Ci sono avvisi di viaggio attivi?
Former conflict zones in the north are now safe to visit but unexploded ordnance may exist off main roads. Monsoon seasons bring heavy rain and flooding. Currents on southern beaches can be strong — swim where locals swim.

Cosa conviene sapere sulla cultura?
Chiedi all'IA della cultura in Sri Lanka
Cosa conviene fare?
- Visit ancient sites — Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and the Temple of the Tooth are extraordinary.
- Take a scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella — one of the world's most beautiful rail journeys.
- Try rice and curry, hoppers, and kottu roti — Sri Lankan food is underrated.
Cosa conviene evitare?
- Don't turn your back on or take selfies with Buddha statues — it's deeply disrespectful and can result in arrest.
- Don't wear clothing with Buddha images — it's illegal and you can be deported.
- Don't touch monks or hand things directly to female monks — use an intermediary.
