Galle - where past and present meet

History, culture, beaches - here you’ll find it all and more. The buzzing city of Galle is a quirky blend of then and now. A place much sought after from ancient days, legacies left by colonial rule still remain. The Dutch Fort - a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. Its cobbled streets are lined with trendy cafes, chic boutiques and beautifully restored old buildings. The island’s new creative hub, the renowned Galle Literary Festival and other cultural events also take place here.
