class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negombo is located in western Sri Lanka, about 30 kilometres north of Colombo and only about 7 kilometres from the international airport. This city is therefore a good starting point when entering the country, or you can come back here for a last stop before travelling back home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourists tend to stay in the part of Negombo closest to the beach. Here, along the coast, you will find a few long streets filled with hotels, restaurants, tuktuks and taxis offering transfers to and from the airport. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-4019574504\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3104154707 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2010018119\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1496357481\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3104154707 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3104154707\" );$freedslider3104154707.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider3104154707.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider3104154707.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider3104154707.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider3104154707.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-871e316e\"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Negombo%20Sri%20Lanka&#038;z=8&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Negombo i Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-83312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Negombo-gator.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sol-och-bad-i-negombo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sol_och_bad_i_Negombo\"><\/span>Sun and sea in Negombo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beach in Negombo is miles long and filled with soft, fine-grained sand, but despite this, it is perhaps not Sri Lanka's most inviting beach. We met some beach vendors - and yes, we bought some bracelets from one of them - as well as some guys offering boat rides in traditional Sri Lankan boats. A few more exclusive hotels are located right down by the beach, but otherwise the beach felt a bit deserted, without sunbeds and beach bars. Unfortunately, parts of the otherwise nice beach were also quite rubbishy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" data-id=\"83309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"Negombo i Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-83309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare-600x340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Strands\u00e4ljare.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"83310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Negombo i Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-83310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t-1200x674.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lankesisk-b\u00e5t.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" data-id=\"83311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Negombo i Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-83311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vera.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-restauranger-i-negombo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restauranger_i_Negombo\"><\/span>Restaurants in Negombo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along the central streets of Negombo, and in the various hotels, there are lots of restaurants serving Sri Lankan food, Asian food, Western food or focusing on seafood.

Both the prawn curry and nasi gorengen were the best of the trip, and the vongole spaghetti chin was also really good. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\"

We had originally planned to rent a car ourselves, but when this was not possible due to the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/12\/flyga-hyra-bil-i-sri-lanka\/\">we were missing a stamp<\/a>we had to rethink and get used to the idea of a driver. We hired a car with a driver at the airport, and started with another driver before Kumari arrived with his comfortable 9-seater van. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been a bit of an unusual situation for us to have a driver, but over time it has become easier and easier to communicate our wishes. We have found it convenient to plan our destinations and hotels ourselves, and then discuss the itinerary with the driver, who has been able to provide additional tips. It has of course been convenient to have a car and driver, and when several people share the cost, it is also affordable. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-128115880\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-4023510976\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bilk\u00f6rning Sri Lanka\" class=\"wp-image-82908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bilk\u00f6rning-Sri-Lanka.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We thought it was ok to share four - we paid about 750 SEK per day for a large van, including driver, driver's overnight stays, insurance, fuel and free kilometres. In Kumari's van, on the other hand, you can travel up to nine people, which makes the price even better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want, you can also book a driver directly, instead of through an intermediary as we did, and thus reduce the price further.
