Definitely rent a bike to go to visit monuments ! Common rental price for bike 250-300 rupee. Also ride along the lake south to new town and back through rice plants!

Suggest u have your sunblock/sunglasses/pair of socks ready. As u have to take off your shoes at some religious spots, u'll have to go barefooted under the blazing hot weather in early Aug. US$25/tkt.

Have to cover your shoulders and knees (be prepared with a spare sarong), remove your shoes (the tiles are blistering hot though) and no hats... bring lots of water & sunscreen !

So far, the ruins of Polonnaruwa are the most interesting things I've seen in Sri Lanka. Just rent a bike because the area is pretty big and it would take days to explore it entirely by foot!

It was amazing..... that was my first time in polonnaruwa. But little bit hot. By the way I love Sri Lanka

The size and scope of the ruined city is comparable to Rome, and some of the sites are remarkably intact. For that reason, if you have to choose here and between Anuradhapura, I'd choose here.

The entrance fee is crazy. Best to take tuktuk or bike to drive around.

Rent a bike , take some water and a hat, do not forget the solar cream, and visit.

The city of ruins! 😛 This is one of the ancient Kingdom of Sr Lanka.

You should hire a guide. He’ll starting to unfold greatest stories.

The greatest kingdom . Try yourself :-)

It is a incredible city in Sri Lanka!

Where else I can breath without smell of a great Kingdom !

Don't hire a guide.

Nice to use a bike to see the different sites.

If you have srilankan citizen, bring with you the passport

Be prepared to take off your shoes a lot! It can be quite painful on a terribly hot day.

Smell of The Kingdom !

ruins, ruins

Here we can see ruins of ancient city ,before

cool.. my home town

Al ser turístico y comparando precios es caro , pero merece la pena para cuando vas a lugares tan recónditos como Sri Lanka. Los monos algo cansinos, si das de comer a 1 prepárate casi para adoptarlo.

Realmente bonito aunque muy caro , 25$. Preparaos para ir descalzos y quemaros los pies :P
