Galle (pronounced Gaul like the old name for France) is an old Dutch styled colonial area. The city itself has grown beyond the fort walls and although damaged by the Tsunami it has recovered and there is a thriving workaday mode about the centre. However, I am staying inside the fort itself at the guest house “Fort Inn” - I would highly recommend them as the family are warm and welcoming while the rooms are wonderfully presented with AC and hot showers that you will want to stay under for longer than you first thought ;)
Walking around the fort, it is possible to see the Dutch style buildings in common evidence and it will take no more than a day to see all the sites within the walls. It is worth staying here for the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere and the chance to unwind with fabulous food, invigorating fort wall walks and the chance to take in some of the charming character of the old world heritage buildings all around.
The best place for Internet Wi-fi and expresso is the “pedlars Inn Café” on Pedlar street - Highly recommended :)as they also have comfortable sofas to lounge on and a range of games/books to while away an hour or to with fellow travellers.
