Galle - Holiday Tour Packages

If you want to see evidence of the Portuguese and Dutch rule during your Sri Lanka Holiday, you don't have to look farther than Galle. The city was extensively developed by the European colonizers during the 16th century, and it's considered to be one of the best examples of fortified cities that the Europeans built in Asia. The best part about it is that the city has not lost its Sri Lankan roots, so what you get is a place that combines traditional styles with European-inspired architecture.

  

Top places to visit in Galle

The first places you'll want to visit when you arrive in Galle are the historical buildings in the city. There are many structures that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries and are still in great shape, so make sure to visit them and marvel at their architecture. Once you've had your fill of beautiful churches and impressive buildings, it's time to explore Galle's natural wonders. One example is the Rumassala Hillock, which is located in Unawatuna and is home to many species of birds including rare ones like the black bittern, the Loten's sunbird, the Asian palm swift, and the white-breasted waterhen. Of course, no Sri Lankan vacation is complete without hitting the water, so don't forget to drop by Galle's breathtaking Unawatuna beach. Here, you can take part in fun and exciting water sports or just lay down and get a nice tan.

Top tourist attractions in Galle 

Your vacation in Galle won't be complete if you don't get to see the city's top attractions, which include the following:

  • The Dutch Reformed Church, which was built in 1640. Interesting fact: its floor is paved with gravestones that come from the old Dutch cemetery, while remains of the dead are kept in various parts of the floor and walls.
  • Amangalla, which was built in the 1600s to accommodate the Dutch governor and later became the New Oriental Hotel. It's now known as a luxurious hotel and, even if you're not staying in it, you can still check out its bar and restaurants.
  • The Fort Walls, which literally encloses the city with solid granite. Take a stroll along the walls at dusk to fully observe its majestic beauty without the daytime heat.
