Negombo, located on the western coast of Sri Lanka, is a magnificent city awash with a rich past. Nestled at the mouth of the Negombo Lagoon, this city has been engaging in seafaring and fishing for centuries, fostering an unbreakable bond between man and marine. Situated just a convenient 38km from Colombo, Negombo once served as a key trading port for cinnamon under the Portuguese and the Dutch.

Steeped in a history of colonization, Negombo's vibrant cultural tapestry is spun with threads of Tamil, Portuguese and Sinhala influences. Today, the city is home to a large bilingual population, where the Roman Catholic faith significantly guides the community, earning the city its moniker - 'Little Rome'. From ornate churches to splendid beaches, scenic lagoons to stimulating wildlife, and from traditional cinnamon production to modern tourism, Negombo offers an immersive experience for any traveller.

Being the closest major city to the Bandaranaike International Airport, Negombo makes for an easily accessible and alluring first or last stop for anyone exploring Sri Lanka. With a convenient network of highways, bus terminals, and train stations, getting around Negombo is as easy as falling in love with its lingering sunsets.
