Experience everyday life as you browse the bustling markets and shops. Shopping: Shop for crafts, fine pewter, jewellery and batik.
Visit a batik factory, a butterfly farm, a mosque, church and Indian temple, or just laze around on the beach.

The Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, originally built by the Portuguese and then fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century. It now serves as an excellent example of the multicultural influences on the island, representing both European architectural styles and Sinhalese culture.
