The Galle Face Green

Undisturbed views of the sunset and the sound of crashing waves, here in the busy town of Colombo, The Galle Face Green is an urban park spanning over 5 hectares. Accessible to tourists and locals alike, the Galle Face strip is covered in greenery, ideal for an affordable weekend escape with the family. With some amazing street food ranging from “wadey” to devilled chickpeas and even candy floss, you will find children flying kites or playing a game of cricket while the parents stroll along the beach.

The view of the Port City and its futuristic skyline can be admired when you are at Galle Face Green. The history of this place takes you back to the time of Sir Henry Ward, the Governor of British Ceylon back in the eighteenth century, who, at the time, planned out the entire structure of Galle Face Green. Truly a spectacular place to visit in Colombo.
