anuradhapurna is a place where you could spend several days because there are so many temples to be seen. Among others I advise Isurumuniya, dagoba of jetavatarama, Dagoba Ruvanvenisaya, holly tree, dagoba thutarama, budha samadhi,....

too many things to see. impossible to stay more than 3 hours beacause you are exhausted (too many people). if possble take a ticket for several days and come early in the morning, better than in the afternoon (too many groups). be careful as every national museum, you need to get some egyptian lires to pay your fee. once inside you have to pay another ticket to see the mummies.

nice guest house located on the beach. cheap place. double and triple rooms. possible to eat there or to go in the city.

nice family. cheap place located inside and along the forteress.

very nive family. they can organize you a trip to yala park.
