Why Visit Galle

Galle Fort is one of Sri Lanka's most treasured UNESCO World Heritage Sites — a perfectly preserved Dutch colonial fortress built in 1663 on the southwestern tip of the island. Inside the fort walls, you'll find cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, boutique shops, art galleries, and excellent cafés. The surrounding south coast offers beautiful beaches at Unawatuna, Mirissa, and Hikkaduwa. The transfer from Colombo Airport via the Southern Expressway is one of the quickest and most comfortable in Sri Lanka.

Driver Tip: The Southern Expressway (E01) makes Galle one of the quickest destinations from the airport — no mountain roads or city traffic. Your driver will take the expressway for the smoothest, fastest journey.
