📱 Apps You Should Definitely Download First

Just landed in Sri Lanka? Before you dive into anything, make sure your phone’s loaded with a few must-have apps. These will make your trip smoother, cheaper, and way less stressful.

1. Booking.com

If you don’t already have it, now’s the time. Great for last-minute hotel deals, guesthouses, homestays, and finding places with solid reviews. Super handy when you're moving from place to place and want something trusted.

2. PickMe

Sri Lanka’s local ride app — and a total lifesaver. You can book tuk-tuks, cars, or even bikes with riders (perfect for solo travelers on a budget). They’ve also got food delivery when you're too tired to step out.

3. Uber

Yep, Uber works here too! Especially in Colombo and a few other big towns. It’s good to compare with PickMe and grab the better deal.

4. XE Currency

Want to avoid getting ripped off or confused by all those zeroes in rupees? This app gives you quick, real-time currency conversion so you always know what you’re spending.
