Galle Holidays
asia
Set on a promontory on the southwest tip of the island, Galle offers the best-preserved example in Asia of a European built fortified city. Constructed by the Dutch in the 17th Century, it was the country’s main port for over 200 years and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The enchanting small streets are a delight to explore, with dozens of restaurants, cafés and quirky shops nestled amid decaying colonial buildings and grand fort walls. Soak up the atmosphere with a stay in one of the fort’s boutique hotels.
Trailfinders offers a wide range of Galle holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do in Galle, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Sri Lanka with your own private driver, on a cycling holiday, a sociable small group tour, or a relaxing beach holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
