Can I exchange foreign currency at Colombo Airport?

You can safely and conveniently trade foreign currency at Colombo Airport, at numerous bank counters which are found in both the arrival and departure halls. Those exchange desks run 24 hours every single day.

The exchange rates there are pretty close to the usual bank rates across Sri Lanka, so it feels like a dependable place to get local money (Sri Lankan Rupees). Keep your exchange receipts; you will need them later if you plan to change any extra Rupees back into foreign currency before you leave.
