Galle

Ommuurde oude stad, koloniale lagen en de sterkste erfgoedstop aan de kust.

Introductie

Galle is het ankerpunt van de zuidwestkust voor reizigers die meer willen dan een strandstop en waarde hechten aan sfeer, architectuur en korte loopafstanden.

The fort reflects Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial layers and remains one of the most recognisable heritage sites on the island’s southern coast.

Reisnotities

The most comfortable southwest-coast conditions are usually between November and April, when rain is lower and beach conditions are calmer.
