Worst tourist traps to avoid in Galle city.
Which attractions or shops are highly overrated and just designed to take our money.
3 Answers
The biggest tourist traps in Galle are the gem and jewelry shops that tuk tuk drivers forcefully recommend. They receive massive commissions for bringing you there, and the stones are often vastly overpriced or outright fake.
Avoid the stilt fishermen situated just outside Galle on the main road to Koggala. They are not actually fishing. They are paid actors who will aggressively demand money as soon as you point a camera at them.
Also, be wary of restaurants directly facing the main squares inside the Fort. They often charge European prices for very mediocre Sri Lankan food. Walk down the smaller side streets for much better, authentic meals.
