After or even during play, take a stroll around the historic ramparts and enjoy the superb views of the ground itself and the gorgeous beach next to the ground. At sunset wander among the locals and discuss the day's action or just wander around the ramparts. The Fort itself houses many of the city's museums and colonial buildings and are well worth a look if time permits.
Whilst , Galle itself is perfectly fine to stay in during the Test, the allure of those Sri Lankan beaches both to the further south and west may be difficult to resist.

Unfortunately, Galle itself has had a poor press for potential rip-offs and con artists. As well as the usual tall stories aimed to part you from your rupees, the local gem shops will attempt to sell you stones at highly inflated prices. The advice is quite simple: do not get involved.
