Visit the top of Ambuluwawa Tower.

An interior staircase from the tower’s base leads you about a third of the way up to another observation platform with great views. If you’re adventurous and not frightened of heights, the steps continue up the tower, this time curving around the exterior and growing narrower and more rickety as they go higher. On the top portion, the steps narrow to 12 inches, and the tower’s sides tilt outward, forcing you to lean over the barrier.
