Liberty Plaza (Near the intersection of RA de Mel Mawatha and Ananda Kumaraswamy Mawatha, one block inland from Galle Road). Jewelers, music shops, electronics, leather goods, and more.
Majestic City (on Galle Road ) electronics, food, jewelers, a parfumary, clothing, spices, and much, much more. This is a large and popular shopping spot.
Crescat Boulevard is similar to Majestic City, but this street is more upscale. Lots of clothes in this area, in addition to food, imported goods, bakeries, and more.
Also try the Barefoot Gallery (706, Galle Road, Colombo), which has clothes, artifacts, antiques, toys, books, household items...a wide variety of things. It also has an art gallery and cafe.
Odel Unlimited (5 Alexandra Place, Lipton Circus [also known as De Soysa Circus]) is perhaps the most famous store in all of Sri Lanka. Again, you’ll find a wide variety of items, from books to clothing to household goods.
Cargill's (corner of York Street and Sir Baron Jayatilaka Mawatha) is the oldest department store in Sri Lanka.
Paradise Road (3 Alfred House Road)is a large household goods store. There’s also great food to be had here.
