Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka is a gem of colonial history and tropical charm: The fort founded by the Portuguese and expanded by the Dutch in the 17th century is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms a fascinating contrast with its massive fortress walls, lighthouse, and colonial buildings against the turquoise blue Indian Ocean.
The fortified city is now a vibrant district with boutique hotels in restored colonial villas, independent galleries, design shops, and atmospheric cafes along the cobbled streets. A walk along the fortress walls at sunset, when cricket players play their last round in the inner fort and the sun sinks into the sea, is one of the most atmospheric experiences in Sri Lanka.
The Dutch Reformed Church, Meera Mosque, and the Hindu-Buddhist temple stand peacefully side by side, reflecting Galle's multicultural history. The nearby Unawatuna Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka with excellent snorkeling. Whale watching tours from Mirissa, just 40 minutes away, offer encounters with blue whales, the largest animals on Earth. November to April is the best time to visit the southwest coast.
