Majestic City, an old favourite returns with a new look
View(s):It’s the return of an old favourite. Majestic City once a landmark on Galle Road has now undergone a major facelift and is ready to welcome shoppers.
Built in 1983, Majestic City was the popular shopping and ‘must-visit’ destination in Colombo. Expanded in 1991 and 1994, during the country’s long years of war, it saw further renovations in 2010 and 2018. This latest, is a major transformation of contemporary design and streamlined infrastructure.

The shopping experience is expanded and elevated with the opening of Cool Planet- the popular department store in addition to an array of other shops, and so is the food experience not to mention entertainment with the Game On Arcade.
