Galle's UNESCO-listed Fort is the south coast's showpiece — a walled colonial town of Dutch, Portuguese and British architecture, boutique cafés, and ramparts that catch the sunset. Beyond the walls, the surrounding coast strings together beaches, a turtle hatchery, tea experiences, and the Madu River wetlands.
About 2 hours from Colombo on the southern expressway.
