Negombo Sightseeing Tours
If the beaches in the resort are not able to surprise tourists, one sightseeing tour of Negombo is enough to compensate for this lack. First of all, excursions in Negombo offer a walk through the main Catholic temples and cathedrals. The centerpiece of such a walk will be St. Mary's Cathedral.
Bus Tour
Negombo will definitely take you to the ruins of the old fort, built by the Portuguese in 1672, as well as to the Dutch canal. Often excursions in Negombo are offered around the resort's fish markets, old or new, which are famous throughout the island.
If you get a guide in Negombo, excursions can be taken at the new marina in the form of boat trips around the area. Popular destinations include Kandy Peak, Sigiriya, and Adama. You can reach them independently by rail. In the tourist center, you can buy an excursion to these places for 70-100 USD. The price of the Negombo tour does not include the price of entrance tickets - about 10 USD.
