Galle

A Dutch colonial fort still fully walled and lived in, ramparts you walk at sunset with the whole town looking the other way at the ocean, and a boutique-hotel scene built into converted merchant houses behind the fortifications.
The best time to visit Galle is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (87°F).
