Sri Lanka is one of the biggest little countries in the world. The island's modest size means that it's possible to get a good taste of what's on offer in just a couple of weeks, although, equally, attractions are crammed together so densely that you could easily spend a year in the place and still not see everything.
If you are planning your travel to Sri Lanka yourself, use these itineraries created by our travel writers as a starting point for inspiration.
Two weeks suffices to see Sri Lanka's headline attractions, while an extra week would allow you to add on the places listed in the itineraries below.

A slightly offbeat alternative to the Grand Tour, featuring less mainstream destinations mixing religion, culture and wildlife.
