    Nice touristic place. West and East mixing. Nice view over the sea. Locals are using the open spaces for sports :) it's so different than the rest of the island. Don't visit if you want to see the traditional cultural places.

    Worth a visit. The walls, ruins and fort are across the town, so you need to be prepared to walk and will certainly need sun cream as thereโ€™s limited shade. there are nice restaurants and hotels around the fort.

    One place wanted to visit, and it didn't disappoint. Fascinating history about the fort, its existence, and the time and patience to construct.

    Don' miss it when visiting Sri Lanka. It tells you 'bout a part of Sri Lanka history. I think it takes you 1 day to go round and visit all point around the fort. And 1,5 day for those who love taking pics.

    My favorite place to do a silhouette photography .Amazing location .Lots of memories as a school boy and after.Anyway Galle fort is one of the UNESCO heritage site. The fort has a colourful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population.The Sri Lankan government and manyย Dutchย people who still own some of the properties inside the fort.I always love wandering around the fort,specially in the evening .

    First time to visit Galle Fort. A beautiful place with a lot of historical value. Buildings built with dutch architecture are everywhere inside the fort. Visited the museum. A bit crowded at times. You have to take a visit to Isle of gelato ice cream shop inside the fort. Best ice cream I've ever tasted.

    This world heritage site is very beautiful with clean beach and a very good view of the bay... Architecture is Dutch or Portuguese or British which takes you to past. Streets are small and full of various cafes... Do come to visit this place with minimum 1 hour and be prepared for lot of walking..
