Highlights
Galle is one of Sri Lanka's most populous cities. This beachside paradise in the southwest of the island is one of the most well-known in the entire country because of its historical significance. It served as the island's main port until the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century. While traveling, look out for fishermen selling their wares along the side of the road and take in the stunning green and turquoise beaches that line it. Tell our chauffeur if you wish to bury your toes in the sand. There are two possibilities regarding the origin of Galle's current name. You can have a unique experience while walking on Galle Fort by gazing down and taking in the view of the sea. You may take in the sunset over the fort in the evening. Once the sun has set, return to the port carrying priceless memories.

30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Galle Clock Tower is a four story tall stone monument hailing from the late 19th century. It was built within the ramparts of the Galle Fort on the site of the previous guardroom, overlooking one of the three bastions of the fort. While the aged clock tower is a great monument to photograph, it will take some skilful manoeuvring due to the extreme angle close by. Hence it might be better to photograph it from the Moon Bastion which the tower faces.( combines with Galle fort) End of the tour, will head back to Accommodation with full of nice memoriesDutch Reformed Church
