Sightseeing

Negombo is the most convenient tourist hub either to begin or end your trip to Sri Lanka as it is located in close proximity to the airport and the city has a lot to offer from the awe-inspiring sunsets to delicious Sri Lankan food. Negombo is a traditional fishing village and boasts one of the largest fishing markets in Sri Lanka. A visit to the local fish market in the early morning hours, when the catamarans and other fishing boats return ashore is a must do when you are in Negombo. Take a boat ride in the Negombo lagoon and into the Muthurajawela marshes to watch the birds and catch a glimpse of the way of Sri Lankan life. The old Dutch Fort built by Portuguese and Dutch illustrates the history of this coastal city. As night falls, take a sunset stroll along the beach road and you will witness how the city comes alive at night..
