Pettah Market

Pettah Market, also known as the Manning Market, is located in the heart of Colombo’s commercial district. It’s one of the oldest and most famous markets in Sri Lanka and is bordered by the Colombo Fort area and the bustling Colombo Harbour. Spread over several streets and alleys, Pettah is a maze of activity, where each street is dedicated to a specific category of goods, from jewelry to electronics, clothing, and spices.
