  Nice local market. In the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is the madness of Pettah Market. It’s possibly the best place in Colombo to get initiated into the local Sri Lankan hustle and bustle, to ingest the sounds and smells, and to get a flavor of life in Colombo. Pettah is Colombo's biggest, most functional market space. It's loud, crowded and infinitely full of interesting and useful things - it's one of those places you either love or you hate.

  Relatively cheap price and should bargain.. but have to be really careful with the sellers.. goods are not the best.. but its good value for money if you can bargain

  $ Amazing local street market = Must Go! You can buy almost everything and anything there. It's jam packed there so be ready to have very close contact with the locals. Locals are extremely friendly so make sure you smile back :) It's such a vibrant place! We got a bag of fresh guava for 50 Rs. The guy gave us few pieces more just because. We had fresh guava juice for 160 Rs. The market is next to a major bus stop as well. Super convenient.

  This place is really good for buy all the types of your needs for cheap prices. Even we can buy some goods which are not available in towns. There are so many sellers. But many goods don't have fixed price. So before you by something better to check price in several places and get the cheapest one. Market is always crowded during the daytime except Sundays.
