The Venice of Sri Lanka! One of the most picturesque cities ever! A world heritage site! A place to chill and play! Also Sri lanka's highest real estate value. I love Galle. It's my home. ❤️❤️❤️

The best place in Galle to visit for not only the historical value of the site. Most ideal time frame to visit would be after 5.30pm till dawn. I gurantee it would be worth all the money you spend

Can get scorching hot between 10am and noon. Be prepared to see couples making out in dark corners and condom sachets littered! Nice place for a stroll and a king coconut drink will help after.

This area is really great with old architecture. Don’t waste your time at the fort and lighthouse, the best stuff is on all the little streets!

Nice and cute town with its little coffee places and shops. Bear in mind that every single local will try at any cost to get some roupies from you. One told me that he was the cook of my hotel.

One of the greatest places in busy Galle. A lot of restaurants and shops. Try Indian Hut for meal. Stick No Bills shop for postcards and posters. Spa Ceylon for cosmetics.
