Galle Fort is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage site. In one day, you must walk the perimeter of the ancient ramparts, starting near the iconic Galle Lighthouse. Explore the Dutch Reformed Church and the old Maritime Museum to understand the colonial history. The best streets for photography are Pedlar Street and Leyn Baan Street, which are lined with beautifully restored Dutch villas, boutique shops, and excellent cafes. Aim to be on the western walls by 5:30 PM for a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean.

If you get hungry, grab lunch at Poonies Kitchen for amazing healthy food, or find a small local spot near the clock tower for authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry. The fort is very compact, so you can easily cover all the main highlights on foot in about four hours.
