Galle
A UNESCO-listed 17th-century Dutch colonial fortress city on the southern coast — cobblestone streets, boutique hotels, galleries and ocean views.
About Galle
Galle Fort, built by the Dutch in the 17th century on the site of an earlier Portuguese fort, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort's well-preserved ramparts, colonial-era architecture, boutique galleries, cafes, and the iconic lighthouse make it one of South Asia's most charming destinations. Sunset walks along the ramparts with the Indian Ocean on three sides are unforgettable.
