Galle Fort
After a sunrise walk along the ramparts (2½km/1½ miles) overlooking the Indian Ocean, wander around the cobbled, labyrinth of streets which criss-cross the center of this 17th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site. Browse for bargain gems, like blue sapphires, original art work, and cotton clothes in a rainbow of colors along Church Street. After a decadent afternoon tea on the veranda of the Amangalla hotel, head to the ancient walls for sunset, where the Dutch Fort jumpers dive 100m (328 ft.) into the sea for tips.
