Sri Lanka Day 10 | Negombo beach | Dungalpitiya beach | Colombo airport |

Описание: Negombo
 
Negombo is a bustling coastal city on Sri Lanka's west coast, famously known as "Little Rome" due to its deep-rooted Catholic heritage and ornate churches. It is a top choice for travelers starting or ending their journey because it is the closest major city to Bandaranaike International Airport (~9 km away).
 
Colonial Influence: The city bears a unique blend of Portuguese, Dutch, and British history, visible in its architecture and the 120 km-long Hamilton Canal built by the Dutch to transport spices.
 
"Little Rome": Nearly two-thirds of the population is Catholic. Iconic religious sites include St. Mary’s Church, one of the largest cathedrals in Sri Lanka, and the neo-Gothic St. Sebastian’s Church.
 
Fisherman's Hub: Life revolves around the sea and the Negombo Lagoon. The city is famous for its massive Lellama (Fish Market), where you can see daily auctions and vast stretches of fish drying on the sand.
 
Key Attractions & Activities
 
Beaches: Negombo Beach is broad and golden, ideal for sunsets and water sports like windsurfing. Browns Beach is another popular spot for relaxing.
 
Angurukaramulla Temple: A 19th-century Buddhist temple famous for its giant reclining Buddha and a unique entrance through a dragon's mouth.
 
Dutch Fort: Located near the fish market, the remains of this 17th-century fort now house a prison (viewable from the outside only).
 
Best Time to Visit: The dry season from December to April offers the best weather for beaches and outdoor exploration.
 
Getting Around: Uber, PikMe, Taxis and tuk-tuks are readily available. You can even rent your own tuk-tuk for a more independent experience.
 
Dining: The area is a seafood paradise. Popular spots for nightlife and dining are concentrated along the Lewis Place strip.
