Opened in 2022, the lovely Lotus Tower (colombolotustower.lk, adult/child US$20/10), with its rainbow of changing petal colors, is a landmark throughout the city. At 356m it's the tallest building in South Asia and the 19th tallest in the world, with an elevator that zips you to the top in 48 seconds. In the base are food courts, a casino and souvenir stores, while at the top is Sri Lanka's only revolving restaurant and an observation deck. An immersive digital-art experience is included in the ticket.
A big screen in the foyer (free) shows a short film about 35 international base jumpers who leapt from the top in 2024. If you're inspired, bungee and abseil experiences are in the works.
