Most people just visit Galle for a day trip. Is it worth booking a hotel inside the fort walls and what makes the evening atmosphere different from the daytime.

Staying inside the Fort is a completely different experience. Once the day trippers leave around five, the cobblestone streets become quiet and romantic. You can walk the ramparts at sunset when locals come out to fly kites. The boutique hotels inside are often restored colonial villas which offer a unique historical charm that you wont find in modern beach resorts.

The food scene inside the Fort is excellent but pricey. Try the gelato shops and the fusion restaurants on Pedlar Street. If you stay inside, you can wake up early and see the fish market just outside the gate before the heat starts. It is definitely worth at least two nights.
