Negombo Fish Market offers a direct look at the city’s long-established fishing economy, with fresh catches moving through a busy working market near the lagoon and coast.

Sigiriya Museum

Sigiriya

Sigiriya Museum introduces the archaeology, planning and material culture of the Sigiriya site through objects, displays and interpretive context. It can deepen a traveller’s understanding of the wider heritage landscape, but it is a separate museum visit and should not be treated as a substitute for, or the entrance to, Sigiriya Rock Fortress.
