Get the city on one side and the sea on the other at Galle Face Green, the city's green lung. The largest open space in the urban area, it sits between the busy financial district and the ocean. Once used as an official sports area, with horse racing, a golf course, and rugby and cricket pitches, the park now serves as a blank canvas for locals and tourists to indulge in their favorite activities, surrounded by extensive views of the ocean. Use our Colombo day trip planning site to add Galle Face Green and other attractions to your Colombo vacation plans.

  Across the road from some large hotels, but rather a rough grass area. Should be a smart park but is not.  more »

  Good weather and nice view. The waves are very strong so nobody can swim here. It's very dangerous for kids because it's high and no fences near the beach. There is some small restaurants and food tables but i didn't find a coffee shop.

  Nice place to enjoy your evening. But sometimes it may crowded. Have parking spaces and you have to take a parking ticket from a ticket machine. This place sells Kites and other toys. Small huts have isso wade and other street foods.

  Good Place to enjoy your evening. Try Isso Wade. Crowded on Sundays and Public Holidays. If you wanna sit on the grass, please bring a sheet or something to sit on. Playing possible for small groups. Best place for Sunset
