Wander the ramparts, lighthouse and boutique-lined streets of Galle Fort, a UNESCO-listed Dutch colonial fortress on Sri Lanka’s south coast. The tour typically includes time to explore art galleries and colonial-era architecture within the fort walls, plus stops at nearby beaches or a turtle hatchery, depending on timing. The compact fort area is easy to walk at a leisurely pace, and sunset from the ramparts is a particular highlight.
Best starting point: Galle, Bentota or Hikkaduwa
