Due to its geography and nature, this city is constantly filled with tourists from all over the world as well as from different parts of the island.

As soon as you enter the city, you'll be welcomed by a dazzling array of roses and unique flower gardens. The hilltops are decorated by beautiful flower beds and wrapped by the mysterious fog to refresh the hearts of those who enter this city. Here you will also be able to see a large number of birds and butterflies living in the mountains. Trains running through beautiful tea plantations cross these hills day and night. The tunnels built during the British period as well as the trains running over those strong bridges and tunnels add a strange charm to this environment.

On the road sides you can see vendors with bags of fruits picked up from the mountain forests, especially strawberries, Indian gooseberries, peaches, jam guavas and avocados, and sometimes you will meet a child or a woman selling a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers with an innocent smile. Although it is a very rural environment, this city has the ability to provide all the necessary facilities for a tourist coming from a distance. Strong mobile phone signals are provided through the transmission tower installed on Nayabedda, the highest mountain peak in the area.

You will find several natural sightseeing places in this city and Poravagala view point is one of them. From this place you will be able to explore the distant mountains using binoculars and capture a beautiful memory on a camera lens. In a very short time from the city you can reach the Lipton Seat viewpoint and several provinces of the island are visible from this awesome view point.

A little towards Badulla you come across the ancient Dova Raja Maha Vihara, built by King Valagamba in the 1st century BC. You will be amazed by the 39-feet tall Buddha statue carved out of a rock in this Raja Maha Vihara, as well as the shrine with wonderful paintings. There is a tunnel from this Raja Maha Vihara to famous Ravana Falls and it is said to have been used during the reign of the great king Ravana. However, the entrance to the tunnel is now permanently closed and it is believed by the villagers that the cobras are guarding the entrance from evil.

Several beautiful churches built during the British Empire can be seen around the city and the church dedicated to Saint Anthony occupies a special place. Moreover, you can also see a complex of magnificent temples as a large number of Hindu devotees live in tea plantations. Ganesh Temples and Murugan Temples are prominent among them.
