Independence Square Walking Tracks

The Independence Square Walking Tracks meander around the Independence Arcade – one of the important cultural monuments of Colombo. This walking track provides a relief to Colombo’s health conscious who otherwise would have to exercise amidst smoke and jamming traffic of the city. The place lets everyone take a morning walk or stroll in the evenings in such tranquility. The track is spotted with two towering water fountains and a pool which are beautifully lit at nights. With sightings of green and blue everywhere it’s hard for one to imagine that such a beautiful spot sans traffic is actually inside the almost ever busy Colombo. As well as for exercising, the Independence Arcade also makes a lovely picnic spot with numerous shops and restaurants located there.
