Galle Face Green is Green, safe, pleasant, and enjoyable. My grandson and I walked up and down Galle Face Green. He was interested in the history of Galle Face, the Galle Face Hotel and development of the Port City construction.

Visiting Srilanka without passing through the major tourist attractions is like nothing, the city is beautiful lovely and hospitable people, food is amazing and easy transportation to commute from one point to another, highly recommended.

Vietimme iltapäivän Poya Dayna täällä. Paikalla oli satoja paikallisia, krääsän myyntikojuja, lapsia lennättämässä leijaa ja herkkukojuja. Tunnelma oli todella mukava. Ainoina turisteina saimme liikaa huomiota, mutta se pitää hyväksyä.
We spent one afternoon here at the Poya Day. There were hundreds locals, stands who selling toys, children and their parents and different kind of treats. We were only tourists and that's why we got too much attention but that was ok as we accepted it.

This is like a beach promenade where you can walk along the shore and watch the ocean, Not the best idea to go during the afternoon as there's very little shade. But looks pretty in the evening / at night.

Check the price first the stall holders like to inflate the prices if they sniff a tourist. Local restaurants are far better value and quality plenty close by.

People do visit daily and its not closed at any time of the day. It tends to be more crowded during the evening to see the sunset. Finding parking maybe an issue.
