- Brief garden (another masterpiece of landscaping, this one by Bawa's brother).
- The Kalutara temple and sacred bodhi tree.
If you had time to look at only one of the above, I'd recommend Lunuganga (especially if you have any interest in architecture or landscaping).
Thank you. I'll definitely put them on the list. I would imagine that I am leaving at 8-9 am after breakfast, traveling carryon only (no need to stand in line to check bags), so a good amount of time for sightseeing during the day.
