Anuradhapura a must in Sri Lanka - It can take five hours to reach the old city from Colombo Katunayaka. It can be tiring. The old city tour costing US$ 25 per day per person, requires extensive walking, taking of shoes at Buddhist temples, and being in hot weather. You need at least 5/6 hours to get a feel of this ancient city of 2000 years BC onward. Moonstone, The tree under which Buddha received enlightenment, (branch brought from India), many Stupas made by successive kings, old dwellings, - all cast a magical spell on the traveler. You can find drinks, food in kiosks clusters, as also wash rooms. Stay a night there and relax ; do not rush back ; you'll break yr back!
