Located just minutes from Sri Lanka’s main entry point, the coastal town of Negombo offers a vibrant mix of beach time, colonial history and nature-based excursions — making it ideal for a stay either at the beginning or end of your holiday. By choosing the reliable taxi services of Colombo Taxi Airport, you’ll start or finish your journey in comfort, knowing your transport is taken care of.
Negombo is barely half an hour’s drive from the airport, which means less time on the road and more time to unwind. With its golden sand beaches, scenic lagoon, Dutch-era canals and lively fish markets, the town captures the relaxing side of coastal Sri Lanka without the long transfer times. According to travel guides, attractions include the Negombo Fish Market, the Hamilton (or Dutch) Canal, Angurukaramulla Temple and the lagoon ecosystem.
Start your stay with a stroll along Negombo Beach, where the shoreline stretches wide and invites you for an early swim or sunset chill. The nearby Negombo Fish Market, active in the early hours with fishermen unloading their catch, is a raw and engaging glimpse into local trade and coastal life.
Not far from the beach lies the historic Hamilton Canal (formerly Dutch Canal) that winds through the town and its lagoon, offering tranquil boat rides, mangrove views and bird-life spotting opportunities.
Cultural sites abound: visit the ornate Angurukaramulla Temple with its giant Buddha mural, or step into St. Mary’s Church, a prominent Catholic church reflecting Negombo’s colonial heritage and known as “Little Rome” because of its many churches.
Due to its proximity to the airport and Colombo, Negombo is not only a destination in its own right but also a convenient base for further exploration. Whether you’re planning to venture inland to hill country, head south to the beach resorts or book onward transfers, the right transport makes all the difference. According to forums, day-trips from Negombo may include cities like Kandy, Galle or nature-filled excursions around the lagoon region.
