Abstract: This article considers isometries of the Kobayashi and Carath'{e}od-ory metrics on domains in $mathbf{C}^n$ and the extent to which they behave like holomorphic mappings. First we prove a metric version of Poincar'{e}'s theorem about biholomorphic inequivalence of $mathbf{B}^n$, the unit ball in $mathbf{C}^n$ and $Delt{a}^n$, the unit polydisc in $mathbf{C}^n$ and then provide few examples which extit{suggest} that $mathbf{B}^n$ cannot be mapped isometrically onto a product domain. In addition, we prove several results on continuous extension of isometries $f:D_{1}ightarrow{D}_2$ to the closures under purely local assumptions on the boundaries. As an application, we show that there is no isometry between a strongly pseudoconvex domain in $mathbf{C}^2$ and certain classes of weakly pseudoconvex finite type domains in $mathbf{C}^2$.
