How to get there
Bus
Recommended
Colombo's bus network provides an economical way to travel. Crescat Boulevard is on Galle Road, serviced by numerous routes. Bus route number 100 (Pettah-Panadura) is a good option, as it travels the length of Galle Road and passes directly in front of the Crescat Shopping Mall. Other routes such as 101 and 102 are also suitable.
Taxi
Recommended
Taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and PickMe are widely available and offer convenient travel. Passengers can be dropped off directly at the entrance of the shopping complex on Galle Road.
Walking
Recommended
Given its central location, Crescat Boulevard is within walking distance of many hotels, restaurants, and attractions in the Colombo 3 area, including Galle Face Green.
Bike
Bicycles are suitable for short distances.
Car
Crescat Boulevard is easily accessible from Galle Road and Sri Uttarananda Mawatha. The complex offers ample and secure underground parking, though a fee is charged.
