Negombo City Tour

In the city of Negombo, visitors can experience a little bit of everything that Sri Lanka has to offer. The essence of the best possible holiday in Sri Lanka can be summed up by the Negombo lagoon, the sea, the picturesque beaches, and a large community of people who speak many different languages.

A cosmopolitan community that has experienced it all from the age of discovery, trade, and conquest is evidenced by the presence of ornate Buddhist temples, Hindu shrines, Christian churches, and Muslim mosques. These buildings attest to the spiritual harmony of the community.

When your flight from Sri Lanka lands in the International Airport, which is only forty minutes away, the Dutch Canal and a Fort are standing by, ready to testify to their claim that they are the first destination in Sri Lanka that you should visit.

You can swim, snorkel, dive, windsurf, deep sea fish, and scuba dive thanks to the facilities that are available in Sri Lanka. This is one reason why holidays in Sri Lanka are a compact package that gives you multiple pleasures in addition to their value. When Arab merchants came to Serendib (now known as Sri Lanka) in search of cinnamon, the town of Negombo was already well established as a thriving trading port.

Because it was able to adapt to the shifting political landscape and market conditions, the trading post was able to survive all three of Europe’s invasions and colonisation efforts. As a result of this process, Negombo has developed into a mosaic of communities, languages, and religions from a wide range of backgrounds.
