Galle

Galle is known for Galle Fort, a fortified old city founded by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century, and which attracts many tourists (foreign and national alike). The fort is small, full of cute cobble-stone streets and some very well, some very poorly maintained buildings which reflect the Portuguese, Dutch and British rule in their architecture. On the seaside, the fort walls are mainly intact and can be visited, which we of course did. We also made sure to stay in the middle of Galle Fort to get the full enjoyment of all the tourist infrastructures such a place has to offer 😉 (and we were glad we did, as the city of Galle itself has not much to offer apart from the nearby fort). We were also lucky to arrive on the Poson Poya day, which is a buddhist holiday being celebrated by the locals by flying big and small kites - what a beautiful view it was! 🥰 It was a fabulous second-last destination in Sri Lanka for sure and we highly recommend a visit!
