The best time to visit the fish market in Negombo is early morning, around 5 to 7 AM. This is when you can see the most interesting things: the arrival of fishing boats with the night's catch, unloading of fresh fish, and the start of active trading.

At the old market, a huge number of fishing boats arrive by dawn to unload their catch. If you want to catch the peak of activity, come by 5 AM. By 9-10 AM, trading at the old market is almost over.

The new market operates longer - you can come here even in the middle of the day, but for the most vivid impressions and photos, we also recommend early morning. At this time, there is a huge variety of fish and seafood available, and the atmosphere is most authentic.

Ideal route: arrive at the old market early in the morning, then move to the new market, and from there you can walk to the Dutch Fort and further to the tourist area.
