Dambulla offers a lot of history - on your way to see more history. It has the largest collection of preserved cave paintings at the center of the Dambulla city at the rock temple. Dambulla is also close to the famous Sigiriya and many other historic sites.
Dambulla also is the home for several great hotels that would be ideal to stop-and-go on the way or as a designated destination worth spending a few days.
It serves as a hub at the intersection of several main roads of the country.

Dambulla is an excellent place to relax.
Dambulla is an excellent place to relax. Not much of fancy stuff like clubs and etc but a great place for tranquility. Lota of places to walk around, lakes, nature and rocks to climb. Its a hub where you can access Habarana for safari, Anuradhapura for history and archeological sites, Matale for scenaries and Sigiriya for Heritage Rock climbing. Dambulla city has almost everything you need but finding a good place to eat could be a challenge. Mango Mango is a good place to try. Loads of hotels and guest houses to stay. Very hot weather so most outing is done early morning or afternoon 3-6.

Great base to explore the cultural triangle from.
Great base to explore the cultural triangle from. Cave Temple is worth the visit as well as other sites that are just a bus ride away such as Sigiriya, Anurahadapura and so on. Lots of monkeys around Temple Junction and a market. Plenty of places to grab water and snacks etc.

Very local, use only as base point for area attractions: Sigirya, Polonaruwa, Kaudalla, Anuradaphura.
And Dambulla caves, very close, we totally missed those but they should be visited.
Enjoyed the local atmosphere with very simple local restaurants and maybe the best kottu roti we had in Sri Lanka

Dambulla is a great area to visit for some cultural traveling. It is mostly popular for the historic Golden Temple of Dambulla which is also known as the Dambulla Cave Temple. And just a little further from the city, there's the beautiful Kandalama Lake which is a wonderful place to visit and spend some time calmly. You can also visit the ancient and the world popular Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a little further away from the city, which is one magnificent destinations to visit in the world. Apart from them, if you are into some hiking, the Pidurangala Ancient Temple and Pidurangala Rock is just a little bit away and almost right next to Sigiriya. And it's a wonderful place for nature lovers as well, as you can visit the Sigiriya Sanctuary and do some bird watching.
The city of Dambulla is a well facilitated one which is easier to reach from anywhere in the country as 2 of the main highways in the country intersect there. There aren't many but enough places to get a decent Sri Lankan meal and few foreign cuisines too if you prefer

“Excellent place to stay in Dambulla... Staff will do anything possible to make ur stay comfortable..they arranged sigiriya and polonowaru trip which was great fun...special thanks to Tifa who is working really hard to make all the guests feel comfortable...her well informed advices helped me a lot in planning my tours...thanks again guys...😃 Next time when I'm in Dambulla, I know where to stay😃”
“The hotel is run by a family who go out of their way to ensure you are well looked after. The location is semi-rural outside Dambulla near the Golden Temple. My sister and I stayed one night eating dinner and breakfast there. It has been the best local cuisine hands down we've had in Sri Lanka.”
“The owner was very helpful and gave us free ride from the bus (we didn't even told him we're coming). Also later the staff helped us catch the right buses in front of the hotel (to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa).
The room was the cleanest we've seen so far, with fan and mosquito net.”
“Comfortable room, warm welcome and helpful owner, hi-speed wifi, nice location just 5 min walk to cave temple, but about 20 min walk to downtown, but you can always take tuk-tuk”
