Step back four centuries into one of the best-preserved colonial port cities in Asia, Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site originally built by the Portuguese and later expanded by the Dutch in the 17th century. This expertly guided walking tour through the fort’s cobblestone alleys reveals Dutch colonial architecture, ancient churches, a 300-year-old lighthouse, hidden courtyards, boutique galleries and excellent cafes serving the island’s finest coffee. The tour extends along the dramatic southern coastline, passing fishing hamlets, surf breaks and the beautiful beaches of Unawatuna and Jungle Beach.
