Negombo

Picturesque Negombo is of interest mostly because of its distance to the international airport, only 10 km down the road – many tourists stroll off long-haul flights to one of the beach hotels in the region, or linger here as the last leg before heading home. Things to do and places to visit in Negombo have made it a perfect city in Sri Lanka for family holidays and honeymoons.   

A few miles south of the city, Negombo Town provides a fascinating intro to Sri Lankan coastal life, a vibrant fish market, an old-world colonial elegance, and dozens of colorful wooden boats. Negombo is the country’s biggest fishing village, as well as a famous tourist city.
