Galle Fort is not just a coastal town, but it is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and a fascinating colony that should be on any Sri Lankan travel itinerary. History buffs should definitely spend a few days here, but if you only have one, you can explore the Galle Fort area on foot.



Galle Fort is located between Hikkaduwa and Unawatuna and is easily accessible by train from Colombo. The Portuguese built the Fort in 1588, and the Dutch reinforced it in the 17th century. Many of the buildings in Galle Fort are famous for their Dutch architecture and are named after them. In addition, the town has many charm and historical sites. Galle is a good place to stroll around, with few motor cars inside the town, and you'll find yourself admiring the original colonial architecture around every turn. In addition, Galle has many highly-rated cafes and eateries.
