If you were raised in Colombo, chances are that Galle Face Green was your favourite hangout spot as a child, maybe even still is.
About
Every evening, you can see families, couples and groups of friends flock at the Galle Face Green while they munch on snacks and watch the sun go down.
Things to do
There are many things you can do at this narrow stretch of glorious views, from flying kites to dipping your feet into the rocky waters below or chilling with the famous isso vades, the charm of the beach has been a Colombo specialty for years now.
Where to stay
Located just a walk away from luxury hotels like Cinnamon Red Colombo, this beach strip does not lack in any way. Any city hotel in Colombo can direct you to this beach and most of them will not be too far from this major attraction too.
When to go
If you don’t like crowds and want the views to yourself, it’s best to go on a weekday as the weekends are when the rendezvous happen on the green. A long walk down the strip is a good way to spend your evening when visiting Colombo.
