Most of the time a holiday in Sri Lanka would comprise of a few days in the capital and at this time you are bound to come across the Galle Face beach area. Galle Face is located in the North of the city and is surrounded by the biggest hotels in Colombo. It is by far the classiest region in the city and everything from high-end malls to salons and restaurants are located in this part of Colombo. However, at the Galle Face area, a mixed crowd can be witnessed giving visitors an opportunity to experience all the faces of this city. While the beach area is small it does offer a relaxing time by the sea with a large public space popular with families. Adorned with an age-old lighthouse and a large sprawling lawn, many visit Galle Face to enjoy picnics by the beach. Food choices are found in plenty here and if you are looking to grab some snacks the 'Isso Vade' (prawn based savoury snack) is one treat you must not miss out on.
