Traveler impressions of Kandy
Two days are fine to reach the general sightseeings in the city. Food is good and many options to fit your stomach.
This was our least favourite city in Sri Lanka - it's hot, very busy and congested with traffic, very few decent places to eat for the size of the city and our visit to the Temple of the Tooth was spoiled by it being so busy and overrun with visitors that it was impossible to enjoy the experience there.
Kandy is a super central location to do short trips or launch your trip to other parts of Sri Lanka. I recommend visiting the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens and the Temple of the Tooth.
Kandy is a nice city with a cool hill-station like climate,ideal for 1-2 days stay,homestays here are very comfortable and worth experiencing,there are places of religious interests and overall a nice place to visit in Sri Lanka
A fun place with lots of variety and set in the mountains where the climate and scenery are agreeable.
Nice city, less chaotic than Colombo. Good shopping in comparison to other areas, decent mall. On the way to, from Kandy there are leather goods shops, good for picking up poufs, chairs, bags etc, haggle for a good price.
overall boring place. nightlife near to zero. you can spend time at botanical garden, kandy lake with Relic temple.
A beautiful city situated around the lake. Has good eateries and bakeries. The Sri Lankan cultural shows in the evening are really very good and depict the history and culture of the country.
Kandy is a nice and clean city compared t the other cities in Sri Lanka. There are plenty of places around for your shopping needs.
We enjoyed Kandy but it is the second largest city in Sri Lanka and the traffic is horrendous. Shopping was nothing special but there are some very good local places to eat.
It was a bit of a disappointment for us. We were expecting more, especially that everyone always rave about Kandy.
Kandy is good for a get away. The weather is ok and there is site seeing in the city as well as just outside of kandy.
Nice green city with a lake in the middle. Sacred tooth relic temple is the main attraction of the city.
Beautiful place . We stayed by the lake . The temple was good to see but men wear long trousers or you will find you will be wearing a sarong as my husband & son had to !!! If you want to eat plenty to chose from if western or local food though I must say the worst meal we had during stay in Sri Lancaster was in 'the pub' in kandy .
Very interesting and lively town with good shopping, pubs and restaurants - Victoria Pub and Restaurant especially good for a meal and a few drinks.
Kandy is an enjoyable place to stay for a couple of days, to see places like the Temple of the Tooth, Tea Museum and so on.
Kandy itself is nothing special. Lots to do outside the city though so I would advise you book a driver or tuk tuk and go and explore.
We really enjoyed our short stay in Kandy. We visited the obligatory tea factory and herbal garden and enjoyed both.
One must visit a place called Embakka Temple. It has one of the most beautiful wood carvings. A visit to the DaladaMaligawa at 6:00pm when they carry out the night rituals is a very interesting experience.
If you have seen other temples I wouldn't bother coming here unless like us you needed to due to the travel time.
Kandy is so old and charming and civilized. Kandy lake is a divine place to go, and the tooth relic. This city is unforeseeable beautiful.
The city is overrated and I would not vivid it twice. The location is beautiful; the city is hidden among the hills.
Kandy gives us a better impression than Colombo because of the great amount of things to do, see or discover.
Famous for the Budhist temple of the tooth Kandy has this stunning temple and lots more including the historic Queen's hotel.
Kandy is very much a busy city, but if you're staying out of the city centre as we were,it was worthwhile stay for the 2 nights we were there.
Very quirky town, nice people, beautiful mix of culture and scenery. However, the concierge at the Queen's hotel wasn't among the nice people we met.
Kandy is a must of you are visiting Sri Lanka. The people are friendly and welcoming. The scenery is amazing.
Peaceful place with nice atmosphere, perfect for relax and some sightseeing. Nothing special or great around just a nice place to visit.
You should dress your self in proper clothing when visiting temples. There are good places to eat and shop within the Kandy City.
You can enjoy the city in all aspects , all sides , it's an UNESCO heritage site , the best time to visit I beleve July to August , finding the tooth festival pagents at royal palace , the city relax you all the time , botanical gardens & temple of tooth relic are most attracted , lot to explore there during you visit , it is good , search on Internet about the city & beware of took took drivers !! As they charge different rates unless they are not a meter taxi !!!
