I enjoyed my time in Kandy (an UNESCO world heritage site & a cultural capital with a strong Buddhist value), the 2nd largest city in Sri Lanka. The scenic Kandy Lake, the Temple of the Tooth Relic, the homestay up at the Kandy hill - very refreshing and relaxing visit indeed in this last kingdom of Sri Lanka before the British's rule in 1815 !
Kandy has a direct public bus service to Sigiriya ( 07.30>11.30) so you could do a day trip to visit the famous Lion's Rock in Sigiriya. From Sigiriya, you could take a bus to Dambulla for your return trip back to Kandy.
