I’m a 22M from New york exploring SE Asia. I will be landing in Colombo on the 9th of July. I’m interested in visiting cafes, local markets, maybe checkout any local clubs, bars or nightlife you have but not much of a sea activity.

Where should I go? Does Negombo/Colombo have anything to offer or should I just go straight south to Mirissa side?

Would appreciate locals insight. Also I’m a college student if that helps lol so any events or music festivals that are for the youth there I can enjoy? Thanks for help in advance!!
