We spent the last 3 nights of our Sri Lanka tour at Galle, with time to wander round the old area near the lighthouse. Despite it being busy with tourists it's well worth a visit.
There are many old buildings such as the lighthouse, police station, magistrates court, Dutch Reformed Church, Great Warehouse and the Dutch Hospital to name but a few.
The local fish market and fishing boats are also worth seeing as well as the street market. Find a courtyard for a cool drink in the shade.

Huge amount of history here in the Dutch fort. Such an amazing place to explore and wander around. The place is well looked after and it’s still very beautiful. Great spot to visit and spend a few hours.

My wife and I visited here during our recent tour of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. We spent several hours exploring the walls and the little side streets inside the fort walls. Lots to see and do, plenty of places to enjoy a cold drink or a relaxing meal. Also lots of tourist souvenir shops, the only ones we saw during our whole trip. Well worth spending a few hours wandering around, thoroughly enjoyable. Highly Recommended
