मध्य श्रीलंका की हरी-भरी पहाड़ियों में बसा कैंडी एक जीवंत शहर है जो अपनी समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक विरासत और प्राकृतिक सुंदरता के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। इसके केंद्र में पवित्र दंत अवशेष मंदिर स्थित है, जो बौद्धों का एक पूजनीय तीर्थस्थल है। शहर की औपनिवेशिक वास्तुकला, चहल-पहल भरे बाज़ार और शांत कैंडी झील इसके आकर्षण में चार चाँद लगा देते हैं। पर्यटक पास के पेराडेनिया में स्थित रॉयल बॉटनिकल गार्डन का भ्रमण कर सकते हैं, जो विविध वनस्पतियों का घर है। कैंडी का वार्षिक एसाला पेराहेरा उत्सव, जिसमें पारंपरिक नृत्य और सजे-धजे हाथियों का प्रदर्शन होता है, श्रीलंकाई संस्कृति का एक शानदार प्रदर्शन प्रस्तुत करता है, जो कैंडी को एक दर्शनीय स्थल बनाता है।
