Galle City Tour
Meet your driver at your hotel in Colombo and travel to Galle Fort. The Galle Dutch Fort is a seventeenth-century colonial fort in Sri Lanka. It stands on a rocky promontory facing the Indian Ocean. Rocky shores and an imposing landside rampart defend it in all four directions.
Proceed to visit the Maritime Museum. The highlight of the National Maritime Museum is its building, which is the seventeenth-century Dutch warehouse. It is a long warehouse, built into the ramparts facing the old port of Galle. The structure has thick walls and solid pillars, which can withstand direct cannon fire. The interior shows some artefacts belonging to Sri Lankan maritime history.
Stop for lunch at a local restaurant nearby.
Head to Unawatuna. Unawatuna Bay is a paradise beach. Its circular beach sports panoramic views, often blessed with spectacular sunsets. The best time to visit is from November to April. The water temperature never falls below 27°. A string of trendy restaurants and sunbed hotels dot the palm groves bordering the beach.
Travel back to your hotel in Colombo.
