Walking through Pettah was such a lovely experience. I grew up walking these streets, but never knew the stories, secrets, and hidden gems they held. The highlight was the Dutch Museum—a place I once visited with my dad. I had never been able to find it again on my own, so discovering it on this walk brought back such a beautiful memory of him. ❤️ The app made the whole experience insightful and easy, with great-quality content and answers. A beautiful way to rediscover familiar streets through completely new eyes!

It was easy and it was fun, I learnt the history of Pettah along the way. My favourite stop was the old town hall especially the 1906 meeting room

“I began discovering Colombo's stories during walks with my mother in her last years. I discovered hidden gems in plain sight, in our own neighbourhood. I've been exploring and uncovering them across different neighbourhoods of this fascinating city ever since. Welcome to Colombo Untold.”
