Regarded as the highest point in Kandy, it is an absolutely breathtaking spot which gives a high angle view of the magnificent city. It’s so relaxing that you would want to sit and watch the fascinating view below all day. It isn’t far from the lake, just around walking distance. They have built a proper place to view the gorgeous scenery. It’s a place you should go with a camera so that you can capture gorgeous photos and videos.

A complete scenic view point surrounded by lake & mountains. You get to see the famous temple of the tooth relic. Also from the height you get to see the beautiful Kandy Lake flowing. A great picturesque can be captured by the camera standing at the point. You can breathe in fresh air, get relaxed and spend quality time as the entire view point is absolutely free. Recommended and a must go place to enjoy beauty of nature.......

It's amazing place where you can see whole Kandy city. It's better to visit at night. When you are in this place you can Kandy lake, all the kandy streets, Temple of tooth etc.

Nice panorama view on Kandy. Perfect road for scooter 🛵 trip

From the top of kandy city , you can enjoy the view. In my opinion it is better in the morning time.

A unique viewing deck with an awesome view of the Kandy city and the lake down below, it offers breathtaking views all around. A photographer's paradise indeed and a good place to hangout chill and relax. A must visit ☺️

If you're about to see Kandy town as a whole picture one of the greatest places to visit is this Arthur's seat, most of the time this place is crowded but the view is really amazing.

To watch the beauty of Kandy and to enjoy it, this is the best place. Felt little tired when climbing up the hill to the spot but all vanished with the natural beauty of the surrounding and the wind blowing.A nice scenary of Dalada Maligawa can be seen from here.

It is an absolutely breathtaking spot!! It gives the higher angle view of the magnificent city of Kandy. Just so relaxing to sit and watch all day!! There are some cultural paintings & crafts of the Kandyan kingdom in view point. It isn’t far from Lake round it’s just waking distance. They have built a proper place to view the gorgeous scenery. Try going there in the golden hour to get some crazy epic photos or videos. Do enjoy!!!

Great views of the Kandy city. A must visit place in Kandy. You can take a tuk-tuk go up the hill and take a walk on your way back - there's a short cut (foot pathway) along the victoria park nearby. Recommended to spend some time and if possible to carry a binocular - who knows what you may spot ;)

This is the place that you can see the glamorous view of the Kandy town. Recommend to visit this place at night to see the most beautiful view with the city lights. The road to reach this place is in good condition and can park vehicles near to the view point. The place is safe as there is a stage with a fence and a small shelter is also there. It has a very calm environment. Good to relax and spend time peacefully with a beautiful view in front.

Scenic view point where you can see the kandy lake and surroundings. You can also see the temple of tooth relic. This place is really good to take photographs with in Kandy town as the background. Parking is available on roadside fulfill vehicles, but you can park your vehicle a bit far and walk to the location. Viewpoint is protected by a fence which will ensure kids do not fall to the abyss.

Nice place to see the birds eye view of kandy. Recommend to anyone who visit kandy.

Must visit during your stay in Kandy. You can visit free of charge. Nice place to see Kandy Town

Lovely viewing point. Be prepared to deal with a tonne of local tuk tuk drivers who are literally loitering about trying to offer rides, tours, asking to go to local shops etc. They are harmless, but slightly annoying when all you want to do is chill and enjoy the view!

Good view of the Kandy lake and the city. Recommend: If passing that area or relaxing day at Kandy, you may visit. Else it is an optional point. A few souvenir shops nearby.

Beautiful view point in Kandy. It has beautiful views of the city including the Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth). It is easily accessible by any vehicle as it's situated on the side of a main road. It gets a bit crowded due to it's popularity.

Must visit. Excellent view of kandy city. Can see the whole city and surrounding hills.

Great view of Kandy Lake and other monumental places of Kandy. Can be reached through a short hike.

Arthur’s Seat is a popular lookout point southwest of Kandy Lake, just past the Royal Palace Park. It is located on Rajapihilla Mawatha at 550 m above sea level. It provides a panoramic view across Kandy Lake, Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Royal Palace of Kandy and the city centre

Visited in the afternoon. A platform has been built to see the nice view of Kandy below. It is located alongside the road, can't be missed. There are vans with souvenirs opposite the platform.

You can take a 180 view of Kandy city & Kandy lake round from here. Nice place for hanging out friends and have some chill. You can take breathtaking photos of yourself and Kandy city from here. Night view must be epic! Recommend visiting this place on evenings or nights

Having good view on this location. But need to be polite visitors..

Lovely view of my lovely city and the surrounding mountain ranges. I usually pass the point twice a day and stop on the way just to look at the Kandy lake simmering in the sun. Spectacular! Can get a bit crowded at times though...

Got a nice view of Kandy beautiful.

Superb and eye catching place in kandy. You can see whole city from this place. Dhalada Maligawa at right corner and queens hotel at left middle. Also can see mountains surrounded.

This is the View point that you could see the half of the scenic Kandy town, a place to visit for sure

A great place to have a view on Kandy city. Also a beautiful place. There's a tree decorated with wood masks which looks really cool. You can also buy them from shops nearby.

Beautiful Place

Very close to the Kandy city. Very beautiful view of the Sri Dalada Maligawa and the city. If visit in a sunny day in the morning or evening, will be more amazed. Only little problem is Parking, but for a tourist, it doesn't matter. There is a nicely built platform for use, and little seating... cannot access wheel chair, need to lift.

A favourite place to visit in Kandy, an excellent view of the entire city

Beautiful place 😍

Panoramic view of Kandy City & Beautiful place.

Nice view point. We can see hall kandy city. Preferred to visit it at night. Free of charge. We do not want to go on foot. We can reach it on vehicles. Eye catching for place

Lovely view of one part of the city. On a clear day, it can be a photographer's delight.

Really admire of having such a view point at kandy for the tourist attraction

one of the coolest place to enjoy the view of kandy.. amazing view at night.. best place to make our mind calm..

Nice place to have a good of Kandy. You can see the whole city from this view point. Better to come around 5.30 in the evening and stay until the sky goes dark and the lights come up. It's a beautiful scenary to watch. Also, you can find some food spots near this place. So you can enjoy this while having something.

Good if you can visit this place in the evening so that you can witness epic night view as well. Here you can see glamorous 180 view of Kandy Town. Safe place to be with children as it has a fence around.

Excellent view of the Kandy city, lake and temple of tooth along with mountain ranges... Viewing area is nicely built with ample space... Only downside is no space for parking vehicles.. bikes can be parked near the area,but that's all... Still, it's a must visit place in the evening

Arthur’s Seat is a popular lookout point at Kandy Lake. It is 550 m above sea level. Very beautiful view of Kandy Lake and surrounding area, like the tooth relic and the city.

Nice view over Kandy. Not much more to say.

Great place for visit everyone. Beautiful caves and Lakes surrounded the area. Very beautiful natural views are there. Make sure you have good camera 🙂.

A small attractive place 🙂 u can see the kandy town from this place 👍🏻 not much special at this destination 😔u should visit once to feel it 😄

Wonderful scenery of Kandy City....I reckon all those who haven't visited to be here.😍😍😍

A very Good place

Great view #kandy royal city #

The original beauty 😍 of this location has been ruined for the sake of politicians making money 💰

Thats home

The view here is amazing specially at night. You can see the temple of tooth and the lake all in one in the prettiest of views. The D.S. Senanayaka street with all the vehicle lights look amazing in the twilight. But beware, travellers as well as some town low lives hang out there. Since there's a considerable crowd on holidays, it wouldn't matter much. If you are in Kandy as a Traveller this is a must visit place for you.

Nice view
