Are the ancient churches in Galle Fort free to enter and photograph.
2 Answers from travellers
Practically all the deeply historic active churches prominently located safely directly inside the ancient stone walls of Galle Fort incredibly generously openly thoroughly welcome foreign visitors completely entirely free of any formal entry charges.
You are absolutely warmly permitted to take perfectly beautiful entirely respectful interior photographs. You simply must remember to completely entirely remove your hats formally silence your mobile phones and never deliberately actively interrupt the deeply quiet personal prayers of the local devout parishioners.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
