Our guide took us here as part of a cultural triangle tour - medieval capital of Sri lanka - wonderful history going back 1000 years and very well presented - the history is quite superb and whilst it is quite spread (so allow plenty of time) it is well worth a long visit - ignore traders who approach you - as others have said not too busy
4. Temple of the Tooth

Perhaps not as grand as the twin Royal Ponds in Anuradhapura but still worth a look down a flight of steps from the Kings Chambers. Yes it may be old an dirty, but just marvel at how it must have been in the King's time and the ornate carvings and the manner in which water was collected and channelled to this pond. All part of the great ancient site of Polonnaruwa and glad our guide took us to this site.
