Once you arrive in the country, you will be required to have an entry visa, which you can easily obtain online, and a return ticket. For tourist reasons, you are allowed to stay in the country for no more than thirty days.
Plan your departure period carefully. Sri Lanka has a hot and humid climate with very high temperatures. The best months are February and March , which have average temperatures but more stable weather without rainfall. From October to December, Sri Lanka is in the midst of the monsoon season, so it's best to avoid traveling then!The easiest and fastest way to get to Sri Lanka is by plane. From Italy, there are numerous airlines serving the route, including
direct flights of about 13 hours. Keep in mind that once you land, the time zone is different, and you will be four and a half hours ahead of Italy. To travel within the island, you can use either
the train or the bus , both quite affordable, though not very fast or modern. In the cities, we recommend trying thetuk-tuks , the traditional three-wheeled taxis that weave through traffic!Finally, don't worry about the language.
