What are the cheapest months to go to Anuradhapura?
If you'd like to score a cheap Anuradhapura holiday package, consider visiting in May, October and November. You'll usually find better prices on hotels and flights during these quieter months — perfect for travellers wishing to save money.
How many days is enough for Anuradhapura?
Anuradhapura holidays come in all shapes and sizes, but to really sink your teeth into this place, we'd suggest 2 days is a good ballpark. This will mean you can fit in top attractions like Mahasena's Palace and Abhayagiri Dagoba and seek out some underrated spots.

How to find the best Anuradhapura package deals?
